Often children and teens act out because they don’t really understand their emotions or don’t know how to express them.
Mixed Emotions gives you a hands-on tool for helping kids figure out—and articulate—their feelings.
The colorful board engages children's interest. It has 100 words that describe emotions. Children use the 40 color-coded chips to “show” you which emotions they have experienced.
You can use the board as a simple check-in activity--a way for a child to bring you up to date on their recent experiences, feelings and moods.
The Mixed Emotions board can also help an individual, group or family think about and process a significant event. The board and chips give them a concrete way to share their perceptions and emotional reactions to what has happened.
You can also play a game with the (included) Mixed Emotions cards.

As a mental health counselor I really love this game. It goes beyond the standard emotions and really requires that the people playing the game consider the entire continuum of emotions to answer the questions. I’ve used it with individuals and families and groups and have been impressed that even children as young as 7 can participate fully. It opens up the counseling process to further exploration in promoting connections between clients and communication and understanding. Very simple to use. Enjoyable to play and has become a go to tool for my practice.
