Learning to talk about feelings is a critical vocabulary skill for early grade learners.
Actually, it’s a critical vocabulary skill for children of all ages.
It can be difficult for students to express exactly what they feel without fear of being criticized, particularly in groups.
And that’s why this Snowball Smiles! emotions board game is such a great social skills tool!
Instead of putting students on the spot, you can use this resource to help them find words for their feelings and learn how to use them in a fun and comfortable environment.
Plus, it’s just a fun game to play!

For example, if a student lands on “disgusted”, ask him or her: Have you ever felt disgusted by something? What was it?
