INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation: We prepare the tracks corresponding to each emotion and
we form teams of detectives (the convenient thing is that each team has two or
three members). We prepared a map like a game board, with
different boxes (one for each emotion we are going to work on), in each
in the box we found a clue card. The squares on the map will be the
following
Girl (joy)
Girl (anger)
We also prepared a box with the causes of emotions on cards, in
The box will contain several cards that correspond to the causes of each emotion.
Green (joy, like passing an exam), Yellow (surprise, like receiving
an unexpected gift), Black (fear, like hearing noise in the dark),
blue (sadness, like failing an exam), red (love, like a hug)
oranges (anger, like not being able to do what I want)
like an unpleasant smell). The box will have a hole to put the hand in,
but they won't be able to see which card they pick, in the tracks where they are told to
look for a causes (3, 5, and 7 box), you must take a card but not
they can choose, they only have the information about the color that will serve as a clue. No
they know the colors that express each emotion.
Explanation: We started the dynamics by telling them the following story: "In
the city of emotions has suffered a disaster, someone has stolen the
emotions have disappeared. This has caused tremendous chaos, the
people do not know what emotion they are experiencing and do not know how to express those
emotions. We have a detective mission; we have been tasked with searching for the
"emotions and identify them." To search for and identify the emotions, you must
find and decipher the clues. We start at the beginning of the map,
We must go through all the boxes. Each team will carry their clue sheet.
to note the deductions.
In the first box, we find a girl, and the card says the following
clue: If you want to know what emotion I feel, you must pay close attention, it is a
emotion that fills me inside and makes me jump and run but also
rest. You will get the next clue by taking a card from the box of
causes.
In the second box, we will find a gentleman and on the card the following
I run, always running so you won't catch me, and when
I can hide. You will have the next clue in a riddle.
(riddle of the annex).
We arrived at the third square, there we found a boy and the clue tells us what
next: I am screaming a lot, I can't stop screaming, I can also jump. If
If you want to know more things, I will tell you because I am shouting, but you will have to
find my explanation in the box of the causes of emotions. The
Yellow cards are the ones that explain my reasons.
In the fourth box we found a lady and the clue tells us the following:
My emotion makes me feel good, although sometimes it makes me sad. To feel it
I need other people. If you want to know more, color it, following the
instructions (drawing of the annex).
We arrived at the fifth box and found a girl on the track who says: I
I also scream a lot and after screaming I feel the emotion of the next.
box. If you want to know more, you should look for my causes in the box of causes
Of the emotions, the orange cards are the ones that explain my causes.
In the sixth box, we find a child and his clue tells us: I don't feel like it.
do nothing, not even give you a hint. You can read it in the riddle
(riddle of the annex).
In the seventh box, we find a man who tells us in his clue: a lot
I have to be careful to avoid unpleasant things. If you want to know more
About what I feel to look in the box of causes for a brown card you must.
Upon reaching the seventh box, you may already have some recognized emotion.
If three more cards from the box of causes have arrived here,
take out.
We start the journey again to decipher the emotions that they
folds.
Box one, the next clue leads you to a riddle. Box 2 you will be able to
take another card from the box of causes of emotions, those of this emotion
They are black. Box 3 will have a riddle as a clue. Box 4
they can take another card from the box of causes, the ones in this box are from
red color. Box 5 solve the riddle. Box 6 card from the box of
causes, those in this box are blue. Box 7 solve the riddle.
At the end of this journey, if they have not yet resolved their emotions, they will be able to
take three cards from the box of causes. And we would start again the
route, this time the cards will have the expression that relates to each
emotion.
