The Feelings Game

The Feelings Game helps children and adolescents gain greater control over their feelings and emotions. It teaches them to:

• Identify and label feelings
• Differentiate levels of feeling
• Recognize that thoughts, not circumstances, cause feelings
• Identify the cognitive errors related to negative feelings
• Replace negative thinking with positive thinking

Game cards represent common experiences at school and at home. Two inventories (included) can be used to help select game cards that are most relevant for particular players.
