Everybody knows how to play Bingo—but this version requires players to identify feelings rather than numbers on their Bingo cards. Ideal for counseling groups or classrooms, Emotional Bingo not only helps children learn to recognize various feelings, it also teaches empathy—a trait associated with lower incidence of violent behavior. Game rules provide opportunities for children to discuss their own feelings and to respond empathically to the feelings of others.
Features feelings that are common in adolescence. Emotional Bingo offers a new, yet familiar, approach to feelings that appeals to teens of all ages. The game includes 32 Emotional Bingo Cards (English on one side; Spanish on the other), Tokens, Call-Out Cards, and a helpful Leader's Guide, with discussion guidelines and counseling suggestions. Also available in a children's version.
