Beginners (6-7 years old): The game can be simplified by providing only four basic emotions with illustrative pictures to help them recognize them more easily. The teacher can also name the emotions after each turn to reinforce the link between expression and meaning.

Advanced learners (8-9 years old): Children can be encouraged to add a short sentence alongside their emotional expression, such as “I feel happy today because I played with a friend” or “I’m a bit angry because someone pushed me.” This helps them connect emotions to real-life situations, stimulating reflection on emotional regulation.

Experts (9–10 years old): The game can be made more complex by introducing a variation where children must transmit the emotion in an increasingly subtle way, either without words or with very minimal gestures. More complex emotions, such as gratitude or frustration, can be introduced to expand their emotional vocabulary.
