Displaying and talking about emotions can be difficult but is very important in our ever changing world where emotions often run high. This essential need to start a conversation about emotions is the reason why The Emotion Conversation was created. The Emotion Conversation is a game that helps facilitate a conversation about emotions such as sadness, anger, fear and joy. These emotions are represented through a study of how different colors, imagery and composition flow together to create different emotional responses within the collages featured in this card based activity.
Goals and Objectives
To create an activity that helps facilitate communication surrounding emotions and mental health.

Audience
Individuals such as therapists, psychologists and parents who are looking to facilitate conversations surrounding emotions with their patient or child.
What I learned
