Garden of Feelings

Where every heart-echo finds a home

Step inside, little dreamer! Here we play with Miri and Ori to discover the beautiful world of feelings. Feeling as bright as a sunbeam or as quiet as a cloud? There is a game just for you.

Mirroring magic: can you make this face?

Look at a face and guess the feeling. Got it? Now run to a mirror and make the very same face! Silly faces are totally allowed. Ready... set... mirror!

💡 What these games actually are

Social-emotional learning is what we pay attention to at Kittelfdora. In the Garden of Feelings a child looks at a face, guesses the feeling, and gives it a name. What we set out to build is a corner where naming a feeling is ordinary and fun. We don't claim more than that.

  • Parent tip: Use these games as a conversation starter. After playing, ask: “When did you feel as excited as Ori today?”
  • Teacher tip: You can play the mirroring magic section together as a class: look at a face, name the feeling out loud, then let everyone make that same face.

Frequently asked questions

What are emotional intelligence games?

EQ games are activities built around noticing a feeling and giving it a name. The Kittelfdora version is played with stories and faces.

What is the mirroring game for?

A child looks at a face, names the feeling they see, then makes that same face in a mirror. Our aim is to turn naming a feeling into a game that is fun to play. We don't claim anything beyond that.
