Learn about your emotions: “Emoticartes”
The game of Emoticartes was born from the reflections of Patrice Lacovella, sophrologist for children. It aims to help the youngest to identify the different emotions they feel during the same day, whether they are pleasant or unpleasant, and to identify resource tools to succeed in feeling better. It can also help them distinguish nuances, for example between desire and satisfaction, or even motivate and show perseverance. In this card game, it will therefore be necessary to identify the unpleasant emotions (red cards) then look for the yellow cards representing pleasant emotions or needs to be satisfied, and then use blue resource cards.
A new version has just been released, this time for parents, to help them, too, to better cope with the anger of their children and the stress caused. The game then helps them manage their emotions, especially unpleasant ones such as incomprehension, discouragement, guilt or annoyance, and thus avoid repeated cries or the feeling of being a bad parent.
- Age: from 6 years old.
- Number of players: 2 – one adult and one child.
- Average duration of a game: 15 minutes.
- Number of cards: 39.
- Price: € 20 per game.
