The Feelings Game
What do I feel?
This game will help people to discuss the way they experience situations, people or organisations. Feelings play an important role in our lives and have a massive influence on our behaviour. That is why it makes sense to understand them. Many people, however, have difficulty putting their feelings into words.
This game not only helps people to become more aware of their own feelings, but will also help them become more appreciative of others.

Explanation
The Feelings Game consists of 140 full-colour playing cards, divided into four groups:
- Pleasant feelings
Examples include: happy, satisfied and grateful. - Unpleasant feelings
Examples include: alone, angry and hurt. - Areas of life
These represent aspects of life that may be important to you and that are emotionally charged. Examples include: friends, (un)paid work and health. - Pictures
These can be used to talk to each other about feelings based on photos.
Within the two groups (pleasant and unpleasant feelings) the cards are divided into two parts:
- Cards 1-24, in each group, represent feelings that are more commonly recognised and more likely to be a part of daily life (part 1).
- The remainder of the cards (part 2) deal with more complex feelings.
The different groups can be used separately or in combination.
Possible applications:
- Coaching
- Talking about feelings in a team
- Getting acquainted
- Evaluating a training course
- Career planning
- Performance appraisals
