Activity Description: Act out various emotions for others to guess using custom made dice.
Items Needed:
- Emotion Dice Template
- Scissors
- Tape or Glue
Before the Meeting Starts:
- Create the dice. (10 min)
- Assemble the die by cutting out the template and taping the edges together.
- Use the lines as a guide to fold the paper into a cube.
Instructions (Estimated Total Time: 20 min):
- Explain the game. (5 min)
- One person rolls the die and makes sure the emotion is not seen by anyone else. They act out the emotion shown on the die using body movements and facial expressions for the group to guess which emotion it is.
- Continue until all youth have a chance to roll and act.
- Play the game. (15 min)
- Choose one person to roll the die in a spot where the result stays hidden.
- Remind the group to keep quiet and avoid making any sounds while the player performs.
- Prompt the rest of the group to guess which emotion is being displayed. They should continue to offer guesses until they find the correct answer.
- Rotate through players until everyone gets a turn to act out a feeling for the group.
