Beginners: benefit from cards with simple, familiar situations and visual icons (like a sad face or a gift). The teacher can read the cards aloud and help them express the emotion through mimicry and gestures.
Advanced learners: more complex scenarios can be introduced — for instance, ambiguous feelings like “You’re happy your friend won, but also a bit jealous”. These situations allow richer emotional discussion and more sophisticated expression.
Experts: Older children can also write their own emotional messages to add to the postman’s bag.
