Looking for a fun way to enhance your children’s or students’ ability to recognize feelings and emotions, and expand their social-emotional learning? This board game is an engaging social-emotional learning activity that helps kids better connect their bodily sensations to their emotions and feelings.

Interoception is one of our eight senses that allows us to perceive signals from our body (bodily sensations), helping us identify feelings and emotions. For example, it helps us recognize when we are hungry, need to use the restroom, or are thirsty. Recognizing body signals is also crucial for emotional regulation.

Bodily sensations inform us about how we feel: for instance, frustration might feel like a fast heartbeat + a tense stomach = frustration.

🃏 What’s Included:

• 1 game board – A fun and engaging social-emotional learning activity.
• 80 Body Sensation Cards – Questions designed to foster conversations about recognizing feelings and emotions, emotional regulation, non-verbal body language, and visual cues.
• 1 cardholder template.
• 1 die template.
• 8 pawn templates.

🃏 What You’ll Need:

1. Print the game board and Body Sensation Cards.
2. Cut out the Body Sensation Cards. Place the cards in a deck with the questions facing down (so players can’t see them).
3. A die (if needed, you can use the included template).
4. One pawn for each player.

🃏 How to Play:

• The youngest player starts.
• Roll the dice and move your pawn. Each space requires the player to either answer a Body Sensation Card question or move forward/backward.
• If a player draws a Body Sensation Card, they must answer the question to the best of their ability.
• The goal is to reach the finish line first.

🃏 Tips for Playing:

• If kids struggle to come up with answers, encourage them by offering two options (ideas are included at the bottom of the Body Sensation Cards). For example: When you’re frustrated, does your heart beat quickly or slowly? Can you think clearly, or is it difficult? Is your body relaxed or tense?
• For “name a time when” cards, if kids can’t think of an answer, provide examples, such as a time you felt excited (e.g., meeting friends) or scared (e.g., seeing a spider).
• Everyone perceives sensations differently. If kids say something unusual, accept their response but ask further questions if something seems odd to get more information (there’s often a good reason behind their answer).
