Description

The results of scientific research clearly indicate that life successes depend not only on our level of education and technical skills, but also on whether we find joy in what we do, can work with others, be empathic and creative. From an early age, it’s therefore important to ensure not only the correct cognitive development of children, but also the emotional and social one. That is why we created the Guess what I feel’package. It is a set of 8 extraordinary games that will help children recognise emotions both in themselves and others. Playing with friendly protagonists who present 4 basic feelings (joy, sadness, anger and surprise) is an excellent way to combine entertainment and learning, but also a perfect tool for therapists who deal with the problems of young people. Children will visit people in their homes, play balls with them, give them gifts, feed them delicacies, or plan walks together. The package was created for young people from 4 to 10 years old, especially those who are struggling with autism spectrum and Asperger’s syndrome or are struggling with shyness, anxiety, excessive anger and impulsiveness. Games from the Guess what I feel’package allow the teacher to bring up a variety of emotionally related topics. Examples of lesson plans, instructions, and worksheets included with the set are an invaluable support. This package is an unusual form of spending time, as well as professional support from the scope of recognising and expressing emotions. The games help children recognise emotions both in themselves and others. Children will learn the mimics, gestures and sounds assigned to basic emotions, and play together with animated figures representing 4 basic emotions: joy, sadness, anger and surprise. Children visit the figures in their homes, play balls with them, bring different gifts, feed them \delicacies, plan walks together, etc. A teacher can add or subtract chosen emotions from the game at any time.

Małgorzata Dąbrowska

Clinical psychologist and a supervisor in the Polish Psychologists’ Association in the Clinical Child Psychology Section. She also works as a supervisor of the Video Training Communication method, which supports parents and teachers in building successful relationships with children. Specialises in diagnosing and treating emotional and developmental problems in younger children, from the infant’s age to early school education. Promotes the development of children with intellectual disabilities and autismrelated disorders. She is a representative of an idea which assumes that the development of a child takes place through play and building good relationships with others as part of daily social interactions.

‘Therapeutic fun and conversation with a child is always a fascinating adventure, during which I not only help young people overcome difficulties, but I also learn a lot from them. They often give me ideas for new games and activities, which we then develop and transform together. Thanks to this, I can say that the game package that I developed for the funtronic interactive floor is, in a way, a collective work. Thanks goes to you, children!

Getting to Know Each Other

Emotions accompany us at every step, but we rarely think about them. In the meantime, they often decide what we choose, how we behave, which friends we are looking for and how we deal with the difficulties of everyday life. It’s worth starting to get to know emotions from an early age.

Sharing Gifts

The ability to recognise and respond to the needs of other people is the foundation of empathy. Every human reflex and attempt to understand another person in different situations helps to raise awareness of ourselves. This is particularly important when working with children who are just getting to know what empathy and sensitivity really are.

Throwing balls

Motion affects our mental and physical condition. It brings joy, makes us relax, helps to express emotions and discharge tensions. Movement games shape character and teach interaction, so it’s worth getting your kids used to physical activity from the very first years of their life. It’s important to remember that it doesn’t always have to be competitive!

Going for a walk

It’s sometimes quite a challenge to take a journey into the unknown. It gives us joy, but also lots of surprises, feelings of anxiety or anger. It’s sometimes more fun to travel accompanied. It’s then possible to make joint decisions, deal with others and support each other in difficult situations.

Making faces

We instinctively respond to non-verbal signals sent by others. They may come from the body or mimic signals. Reading the emotions written on the face requires careful observation of the mimics. It’s therefore worth looking at the basic emotional expressions as they facilitate communication.

Guess where I am

Laughter, crying, a shout of surprise or irritation – it’s through them that we can read someone’s emotions and recognise the person who experiences them, even if we don’t see them. Sounds convey emotions faster than words, which you can see when playing ‘Guess where I am’.

Who will feed me?

Expressing emotions without words often gives us a fuller idea of what we’re experiencing. There are emotional states that are difficult to describe. They may sound banal or incomprehensible in speech. By analysing the tone and intensity of a voice, we are more quickly able to assess the needs, mood or level of stress of the other person.

What’s the sequence?

Our mood can change quickly and we don’t always know why it’s happening. People often experience different feelings during the day, within several hours, or even several minutes. The variation of the experienced emotions can sometimes be so large, fast and serious that it can cause anxiety and confusion. It’s worth taking on this carousel of feelings to better identify their source.
