🎲 Feelings in Action: The EMBRACE Story Game
The EMBRACE Future project continues with Module 3, designed to help children and teenagers (ages 6-18) recognize, understand, and express emotions in healthy ways. Each age group, elementary, middle, and high school, learns through age-appropriate stories and activities.
This week, we’re focusing on elementary school students (ages 6-10) with a heartwarming classroom activity: “Feelings in Action: The EMBRACE Story Game.”
💬In this exercise, the EMBRACE characters – Sparky, Nutty, Wise, Dusty, Flutter, and Bytu – come to life in short stories that teach empathy and emotional reflection.
In one story, Dusty accidentally spills tea on Wise’s favorite book. Wise calls him to talk, and Dusty gathers the courage to say, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Together, they show that honesty, forgiveness, and friendship can turn mistakes into learning moments.
Through guided questions like “How do you think Dusty felt?” or “What do you think will happen next?”, children learn to:
⇒ Recognize emotions in themselves and others
⇒ Express feelings through storytelling
⇒ Build empathy, communication, and emotional awareness
