- Beginners: if you have younger or less emotionally expressive students, air them with an empathetic peer or adult; allow drawing instead of verbal sharing; accept simpler associations (“This is happy because it’s yellow”).
- Advanced learners: For more mature students, ask for metaphorical interpretations (e.g., “This dry leaf feels like my tiredness after school”). They can also create short stories about the emotions found.
- Experts: Use more subtle and sophisticated emotions (e.g. jealousy). Try to think of situations in which several emotions coexist at the same time or one emotion follows another (e.g. I’m getting angry, and then I feel sorry for getting angry).
