Tell Me How You Feel

!2 February 2026
I implemented this activity in the morning when two of the youth came to the Performing Arts Room. We went over the room agreement, said hello in a few languages and I asked them if they wanted to do this activity or start playing. They wanted to hear about the activity. They took turns reading the questions and all three of us answered each question.
They shared a lot of information as they answered each question. Not only were sharing our emotions and or becoming aware of the emotion we felt we were building another level to the already formed associations among ourselves. Some of the answers we already knew about the person answering the question as we had shared them in everyday associations in the club environment.
The two participants were age eight and in third grade.

I did this afterschool around 3:33pm with a 12 year old who said the questions were ok.
He had no problem answering the questions or providing his reason on the choices he selected.

This tool was very easy to implement. I asked the questions in Performing Arts. The youth were ages 5 and 8. Two were age five.
The youth enjoyed sharing their answers and our interaction allowed me to know more about them.

December 9, 2025 at or around 1:30pm.This lesson was easy to implement and all 7 of the youth ages 6 to 12 participated by voluntarly raising their hands to answer the questions and were engaged.
One 12 year old said "the questions were pretty good" The other 12 year old said "the questions were not bad and they helped him to learn some things about his friends."
