The emotional wolf

Inspired by the traditional Italian game Lupo Mangia Frutta (literally “Wolf Eats Fruit”), this emotional variation helps children recognise, express, and regulate emotions while engaging in a fun and active game of tag. Instead of naming fruits, children take on different emotions, which they must express and defend before being caught by the “wolf.”
