In one round, the Wolf calls out “Wolf eats…anger!”. Some children immediately tense up their bodies, clench their fists, or pretend to stomp their feet before running. If one is caught, they might say, “I felt angry when my little brother broke my toy.” This leads to a group discussion about healthy ways to express anger.

Another round features “Wolf eats…happiness!” and children laugh, jump, or wave their arms excitedly before running. A caught player might say, “I feel happy when I play outside with my friends.” This helps reinforce the connection between emotions and real experiences.

A more advanced round might involve “Wolf eats…fear!”, where some children may hesitate, unsure of how to express it. The teacher can help by asking, “Can anyone share a time they felt scared? What did your body do?” This discussion helps children understand that fear can be expressed in many ways, from freezing in place to hiding.
