The original idea for this scavenger hunt was to go out where there was plenty of people and practice observing social cues. Don't worry, you can still have fun with this activity!

Print out two copies of the first page of The Emotions Scavenger Hunt and one copy of the rest of the pdf. The first page has a variety of emojis.

Cut out the feelings emojis. Fold in half and put in a jar.

Each family member chooses one of the pieces of paper in the jar.

Over the next hour everyone playing the game should pretend to have that emotion. When players notice they check off that feeling on their scavenger hunt list.

Once someone guesses a feeling the other player should pick another feeling from the jar. Continue picking papers and acting out feelings until all the feelings have been acted out and guessed.

Talk about what cues helped to show the feeling. Was it tone of voice, body language, facial expression?

Whoever was able to cross off the most feelings on their list wins!

Online Classroom Version of the Emotions Scavenger Hunt:

This version will take a little preplanning (and a lot of emailing). Follow the instructions above with a few modifications:

Email these instructions: We are going to have an Emotions Scavenger Hunt during our next virtual class. Your job is to act out the feeling that you are given. When you see someone in the class showing that feeling mark it on your Scavenger Hunt Worksheet. You must try to exhibit your emotion without disrupting whatever is going on in class at the moment. At the end of class we will talk about what everyone observed and see who recognized the most feelings.

In your email assign a feeling to each student and attach a copy of the scavenger hunt pdf.

Instructions for an outdoor Feelings and Emotions Scavenger Hunt:

Choose a good place to observe a variety of people. Make sure that it is not too busy or active as that may be overwhelming.

See who can find someone that matches the emotions on the worksheet and cross them all off first.

Ask the child why that person may feel that way.

Ask the child when they may have felt that way.

Act out the emotions.

I like to extend the game by coming up with a fictional history that would fit with our observations. Maybe that older woman talking to a younger man is visiting her son. She just came back from a trip and she is telling him all about her travels. Or those two giggling teenagers are happy because they just became members of a super-hero club. You can be as silly or elaborate as you want.

You can play in teams. Pair up groups of kids. Send them out on their scavenger hunt and then compare the observations that were made.

Use this four-step process when reading these social skills books for kids to reinforce the skills featured:

1. Describe: Talk with your students, and have them talk with one another, about what they think the main point of the story was. What social skills did the story define? How do you know? Why are these skills important? Can you make a connection to the story from your own life? Make a poster together, or have the students write or draw in their journals about these social skills.

2. Demonstrate: Have a few students act out what the social skills look like, feel like. Role playing different ways students can demonstrate these skills will help reinforce the behavior.

3. Practice: Plan activities where each child has to take a turn to practice the featured social skills.

4. Promote: Promote, support, and encourage children as they initiate and engage in behavior that demonstrates these social skills. Catch them being kind, flexible, honest, confident, etc.!
