In this adapted version of the postman game, children “deliver” emotional messages to each other. The messages contain emotional situations, and the receiver must guess and react to the emotion, helping the group learn to name, interpret, and empathize with various feelings. The game strengthens empathy and emotional awareness by encouraging children to recognize and express emotions in a non-verbal and creative way. Each child must interpret an emotional situation, imagine how it feels, and translate that inner state into gestures, posture, or tone of voice. This process develops their ability to identify emotions in themselves and others, even when they are not explicitly named.
