Game “The Power of Smile”
About the project. The game includes templates of 12 different smiles with captions (happy, sad, kissing, confident, vampire smile, mocking, shy, caring…, etc.) that you can cut out, stick on a stick (tube, spoon), or bring to your face. The game’s creators also provide detailed comments in the instructions on the possibilities of leisure with “The Power of Smile” and various explanations about the very nature of smiling and stress.
Among the auxiliary elements of the game is a poster with a “circle of emotions” that can be printed and hung on the wall of a room or group in a kindergarten or classroom. This is to help children get used to self-knowledge and express their different emotions and states. And by the faces on the poster, they learned to recognize them in others.
Goal: To regain the ability to look at yourself or to withstand the gaze of others (if you play in a pair or group) and the possibility of contact and intimacy.
The game is available for free download and printing here.
“Smart Osvita” will also send printed games to schools in vulnerable areas of Ukraine. Please follow the link to register your school and receive the free games.
Partner: Educo Foundation.
Term: from November 2023.
