The emotional telephone

This game follows the classic “whispering telephone” rules, but instead of transmitting a word or phrase, an emotion is conveyed through a short verbal and non-verbal expression. The child receiving the message must interpret it and pass it on to the next participant until the last child, who will try to identify the original emotion.
