Hello my wonderful readers!

I use Jenga to discuss feelings. I have a number of feeling words written on the blocks. I have left a few blank, these are wild cards so the player can come up with their own feeling word. You talk about the feeling by talking about a time you felt that way. I use both "good", positive feelings and strong, "bad", feelings. Sometimes we talk about how to lower the strong feelings and how to have more positive feelings. This is a great ice-breaker game with kids who don't talk easily, or who don't understand feelings (you can incorporate feces that go along with the feelings). Love the flexibility of Jenga games.
