Super Simple Feelings Management Technique Activity Cards

Super Simple Feeling Management Technique CardsThese Super Simple Feelings Management Technique Activity Cards are based on Hope 4 Hurting Kids’ Super Simple Feelings Management Technique to help with emotional understanding and regulation. They are designed to be used with a variety of emotions listings of games (see a partial list above) to help young people master the five skills involved in the  Super Simple Feelings Management Technique:

  1. See It!
  2. Say It!
  3. Feel It!
  4. Mimic It!
  5. Talk About It!

There are nine cards for each of the five components that will help young people to better recognize, understand and talk about their emotions. The pdf file also includes a set of blank cards if you wish to add your own activities to the pile.

How To Play

  • The game is simple. Have the child pick an emotion from any source or even think of their own (a list of potential games and activities for identifying emotions is included below).
  • Pick a card and have the child act out or discuss what is indicated on the card for the given emotion.
