Emojis

Social experiences are often connected to feelings. We can help understand each other by concretizing these feelings. In this way, we can make them a subject for conversation. Emojis can help start the conversation on feelings when we are in social situations.

There exists different types of emojis. We have good experience with emojis that open up the opportunity to build and tinker with the emotion or feeling. For instance, we have used these LEGO Duplo emotions.

How?

Depending on our level of experience to register and talk about emotions and feelings, we can begin in different places:

My feelings: Which emoji fits me right now? Maybe I would like to choose several emojis? Which emotion is the most dominant right now?

The others’ feelings: What emojis have the others chosen? I wonder if I can guess them?

Group feelings: Starting with our own emojis, can we combine each others’ feelings and find out how they are connected?

Mixed feelings: Sometimes we have more feelings than one at the same time going in opposite directions. Maybe we can build a ‘mix of feelings’?
