Board Game

Game of first impressions. Great for students who have difficulty recognizing and interpreting facial expressions and body language.
This is a fun activity for individual and small group counseling settings that helps students identify and express their feelings. I typically provide a small snack, a napkin or plate, and a camera to take pictures of the feelings. I print a copy for the student to use in his/her classroom and one for myself as a back-up (and for my records). In some situations, I send an additional copy home after discussing with the student's parents.
