Game: Guess How I Feel
Goal: Students will be able to ask questions about feelings when in a situation.
After getting tired of searching online what games to play in the classroom, i decided to make my own game. I purchased ESLkidstuff lesson plans and materials for a cheap price and it gave me a lot of ideas. Here's one of them.
First: knowing the target vocab
Feelings: happy, angry, sad, sleepy, scared, hungry
Situations: bedtime, sunny, noisy, rainy, stormy, lunchtime
Second: the sentence structure
Do you feel _____ when it's ____.
(Do you feel happy when it's sunny?)
I feel happy when it's sunny./ I am happy when it's sunny.
I prepared some pictures of the target vocab for the students to choose from when they make questions.
![]() |
the feelings cards are in the "I am" box and the situation cards are in the "when" box |
![]() |
I also prepared a board like this. The important thing is that the students must not see what card the person in front is holding.

![]() |
it should look like this
|
Then tell the students that they have to guess what feeling and what situation you have on the board by asking you a question.
Questions will be like " Do you feel happy when it's rainy?"/ "Do you feel sad when it is noisy?" and so on.
Sometimes questions don't make sense like " Do you feel hungry when it's noisy but it's okay.
The goal here is for them to practice the structure and familiarize with the target vocab by repetition.
It will take a while until a student can guess it right. When someone does, it's his time to pick randomly from the cards and have his/her classmates guess.
