Give the children a variety of colored candies or cereal in a small cup. Create a chart matching colors to feelings. For example, red=angry, green=sad, yellow=excited, orange=happy, purple or brown=scared. Add images of faces next to the color. To play the game, the children choose one piece of candy or cereal, match it to the emotion on the chart and share a time that they felt that emotion. Ask questions and provide prompts if needed. When all the children have had a turn, invite them to eat the treats. This activity could be done in small group.
