What do we want to achieve regarding primary skill development (student understanding and/or behaviour)?

After playing this game, students will:

  • Become more confident in recognizing and naming a wide range of emotions, going beyond basic labels like “happy” or “sad” to include more nuanced feelings such as “proud,” “nervous,” or “frustrated.”
  • Be able to associate emotions with real-life experiences, practicing how to describe what made them feel a certain way and how they responded in those situations.
  • Be able to use some basic techniques to regulate their emotions, such as pausing, breathing, or reframing their thoughts
  • Strengthen self-awareness by reflecting on their own emotional experiences and sharing them with peers in a safe and supportive environment. Children will be able to recognise and talk about the emotions involved in school and non-school situations.
  • Be able to listen more attentively and respectfully to others’ emotional experiences and understand that others may have similar emotions to his or her own, contributing to a more emotionally supportive classroom climate.
