Memory of emotions

📌 Teaching objective:

To help students recognize, identify and express emotions through play.

👶 Recommended for:

Early Childhood Education (4 and 5 years old) and 1st Primary

Content:

4 printable PDF sheets with 6 images each. It is recommended to print them horizontally to make the best use of the resource. Cut out all the cards, if they are laminated it is better to be able to manipulate them without breaking them. Another idea is to print them on white cardboard.

Suggestions for use:

1. Classic Memory

All the cards are shuffled face down.

The children pick up two cards in turn and must make pairs.

When they find a pair, they must say the name of the emotion and represent it with their face or body.

2. Mime game

One child chooses a card and mimes the emotion.

The others have to guess what emotion it is.

3. Situation game

The educator reads an everyday situation (e.g., “You drop your ice cream”) and the children must choose which emotion fits best and explain why.
