A tool based on the basic emotions summarized by Paul Ekman in Atlas of Emotions
To help the participants to recognize the emotions and improve emotional intelligence
1. Split participants into 5 groups.
2. Give each group a poster with one of the 5 basic emotions: anger, fear, disgust, sadness, enjoyment.
3. Let the groups draw one of the task papers: e.g. face mimics, gesticulation, drawing, dancing, singing (You may change any of the performing tasks to Your taste).
4. Give the participants some time to prepare.
5. Let the groups act and ask the rest to guess the demonstrated emotions.
6. Discuss what has happened, what was easy or difficult, if they know basic emotions, if they recognize emotions in real life situations, why it is important.
