Smiley Storytellers Rug Activity

Objective: Encourage creativity, collaboration, and emotional awareness.

Setup:

• Divide the class into small groups (3-5 students each).
• Have a set of emotion cards ready (matching the colors on the rug).

How to play:

1. Each group starts at a different corner of the rug.
2. The teacher draws and announces an emotion card.
3. Groups must work together to: a) Find a smiley face on the rug matching the emotion's color b) Have one team member stand on that smiley c) Collaboratively create a short story scenario related to that emotion
4. Once all groups have a member on the correct color and have created their scenario, they take turns sharing their stories with the class.
5. After sharing, the group moves to a new section of the rug for the next round.

Variations:

• For younger students, use simpler emotions and have them act out scenarios instead of creating stories.
• For older students, require them to incorporate multiple emotions into their stories, moving across different colored smileys.
• Add a physical component by having students create a "smiley face chain" to reach their chosen spot, holding hands or linking arms.

Benefits:

• Encourages teamwork and cooperation
• Develops emotional intelligence and empathy
• Enhances storytelling and public speaking skills
• Involves physical movement and spatial awareness
• No individual or team loses; everyone contributes to a collective storytelling experience

This game creates a supportive environment where all students participate and contribute, fostering a sense of inclusion and shared creativity. The focus is on the process of creating and sharing, rather than competing against each other.
