    The feelings bingo game is designed to help children develop emotional literacy and have fun by matching feeling faces to words and playing a version of bingo.

    One player acts as the bingo caller and reads out feeling words while other players mark them off on their bingo boards if they have that word. The first player to mark off all their words yells 'bingo'.

    The feelings chosen could match how a child has felt recently or feelings they have seen in others. After the game, feelings can be discussed further.

    Feelings Bingo

    Purpose:
    Morty Monster is a feelings shape shifter, like Mr Potato head, but a lot softer and snugglier. He is
    a part of ACF’s Big Tree Therapeutic Doll range that you can find out more about here – https://
    professionals.childhood.org.au/course/therapeutic-dolls-for-work-with-children/ Morty’s
    Feelings Bingo utilizes the many faces of Morty. This activity is suitable for workers with or without
    a Morty Monster doll. It is focused on developing emotional literacy and having fun together. It is
    useful for direct work with more than one child, or a child and a parent/carer.

    Who might use this activity:


    This activity is suitable for children aged 5 and up. It can be played over the internet or in person.
    You need at least 3 players (including you) to play.

    What you will need:


    • You will need the accompanying Morty Monster Bingo Board
    • Participants will need paper and a pencil or pen
    • If working online with children, you will need a zoom connection or the equivalent.

    What you might say and do:


    1. Introduce the idea of playing a game together. Talk about how you know about this friendly
    monster called Morty whose favourite game is bingo. He looooves Bingo so much he’s made up
    his own version of the game!

    2. Share the accompanying ‘Morty Monster Bingo Board’ with your child/children and/or parent/
    carer. (I will now refer to them as participants)

    3. Collaborate with the participants to label the feeling attached to each of the twelve feeling
    faces that Morty shows on the board. Let the child/ren lead here. You might like to talk with the
    child/ren about their reasoning for the labels.

    4. If you are working online with your participants, you can type in the chosen feelings that go with
    each face on the electronic bingo board. If you are working in person you can just write them in.

    5. Now you are ready to begin the game. Encourage the participants to choose any 4 feeling faces
    and write them down in front of them so no one else can see.

    6. Explain that you are going to be the bingo master for a start and that when you read out a
    feeling face that they have written down on their list they can mark it off. When the bingo master
    reads out all four words in their list they need to yell out Bingo! Whoever yells out bingo first wins
    that round.

    7. You might like to suggest that the winner is the person who wins 5 games first. If you are
    working online there are some cute ‘Congratulations’ gifs that you could share with the
    participants when someone wins.

    8. After a while you might like to swap around roles. The child or parent/carer might like to have a
    go at being the bingo master.

    Game Extensions:
    • Instead of choosing 4 random feeling faces, suggest that participants choose 3 feelings that
    match up with feelings that they have felt over the past week. At the end of the game, chat with
    the child/ren about the feelings that they chose- when did they feel that way, what was that like
    for them, what happened to that feeling, did it hang around or float away?

    • Instead of choosing 4 random feeling faces, you might like to suggest that participants could
    choose 3 feeling faces that match up with feeling faces on those around them that they have
    seen over the past week. At the end of the game, you might like to chat with the child/ren about
    the feeling faces they have seen over the past week- who showed them these feeling faces,
    when did that happen, what was that like for them, what happened next?
