Activities for exploring feelings and relationships with children aged 7 to 11. This innovative set of materials helps children to recognise a wide range of feelings within themselves and other people, and to give those feelings a name. However, true social competence is more than simply being able to recognise emotions, so an important aspect of the House is its exploration of behaviour and relationships through 10 animal characters. Using situational pictures, story cards, animal pictures, dominoes, a board game, a 'fan of feelings' and a music CD, the House helps children to differentiate a wide range of emotions, to understand the links between cause and effect in their interactions with other people, to interpret verbal and non-verbal behaviour, and to think in a problem-solving way in a social context. The objective of A House Full of Emotions is to refine children's social interactions so that they feel comfortable together and enjoy each other's company.
