Games – Emoji Faces

Items Needed

  • None (just the group and their creativity!)
  • (Optional) Paper and pen, or coloring supplies, for each scout

Instructions

  1. Gather Scouts together.
  2. Instead of directly asking how they feel, ask each Scout to make an emoji face that matches their current emotion.
  3. The rest of the group takes a few minutes to guess the emotion.
  4. Afterward, the Scout shares how they are feeling.
  5. Repeat until every Scout has had a turn.

Variation:

Instead of acting out their emoji face, Scouts can draw the emoji that matches how they are feeling. After everyone completes their drawing, the rest of the group can guess the emotion based on the drawing before the Scout shares how they feel.
