Emotions Scavenger Hunt (featuring The Scribbles Crew)
The ‘Emotions Scavenger Hunt’ has been designed to support children and young people with identifying different feelings and emotions.
Sometimes it is difficult to identify exactly how you are feeling. As adults, we can struggle to find the words. However, talking about and taking part in activities such as an outdoor scavenger hunt, acts as a starting point for discussions surrounding children and young people’s emotions.
This emotions check-in board resource features The Scribbles Crew, a group of friendly-looking emotions characters that can be created by any child. They are just that: scribbles!
