13. Emotions Mix-Up Game
This is great for preschool and school age children and is a creative way to talk about
emotions and there are (at least) TWO ways to play! Why do I say at least two ways?
Because I’m all about giving the game to your children and letting them find a new way to
play! Print out the game and cut out the dice. Assemble and tape together. Next, cut out
the eyes and the mouths. Place them to the side of the Face page. Have your child roll
both dice and find the eyes and mouth that match the dice. Place them onto the face. See
what silly faces you can create and discuss what emotions they see reflected
The second way to play is
to print out just the Face
page and have your child
draw pictures of how
THEY or others around
them are feeling at that
moment. Encourage them
to look at themselves in
the mirror so that they
can see how their face
looks at that moment –
are their eyebrows raised,
their eyes squinted?
