Feelings Builder Rules
Play by yourself, with a friend, or in a group
- Take one block per turn from any level other than the top level.
- Choose one, or several, of the following prompts:
- Define the emotion on your block
- Identify a time you experienced the emotion on your block
- Identify something that could make you feel the emotion on your block
- Identify a time you made someone else feel the emotion on your block
- Identify healthy coping skills you can use if you feel the emotion on your block
- Identify physiological and behavioral ways you can tell you feel the emotion on your block
- Act out the emotion on the block and see if others can guess it
- Practice how to use ‘I statements’ if you feel the emotion on your block
- Use reflective listening when someone else uses an ‘I statement’
- Create your own way to express yourself using the emotion on your block
- Place the block on the top level
- The game ends when the tower falls over.
Or, you can:
- Look through all the feelings and make a single stacked tower of all the feelings you felt today
- Line up all the feelings you had this month like dominoes and knock them down.
