MY EMOTIONS
“My Emotions” is an interactive and educational game designed for visually impaired children, children with learning disabilities, as well as typical children, aged 6 to 10. It is designed to be played by a single child, together with an adult, whether a psychopedagogue, teacher, parent, or older sibling.
This tactile and visual experience provides a stimulating environment where children can learn about 10 basic emotions: 5 positive (joy, happiness, love, trust, surprise) and 5 negative (disgust, fear, anger, shame, sadness). By playing, children will begin to understand these emotions, differentiate them, and learn the facial expressions associated with each emotion. Additionally, within the game, children will answer specific questions about emotions and have the opportunity to engage in deeper discussions with the adult guiding them through the process.
