Come stai strip lotto!• Fold a bit of paper 5 times length ways so that you have 6 folds• In each fold write a different feeling e.g. Io ho fame• Whole class asks the teacher, Come stai? and the teacher

chooses an answer. • If this answer is at the top or bottom of the pupils paper, they

can then tear that strip off (it has to be at the top or bottom!) • This continues until a pupil has one strip left and if this is called

they tear that in half and shout Lotto! • You can then play again with the winner as the bingo caller. • This game can be extended by acting out the feeling and pupils

should then tell you the answer.

Psychic Flashcards• This is a really simple but popular game and it’s a good way to practise vocabulary. • Ask pupils to each write a feeling on a piece7 of A4 paper (could also draw a

picture). • Collect all paper in, shuffle them and hold them in a pile, facing away from

the class so they can’t see whichever one is on top. • Tell pupils that you want them to test out their telepathic/psychic powers. • Very discretely select a page and keep it hidden from the class. • Tell them you would like them to concentrate on your brain and you will

think intently of the feeling on the page. • Give them a set amount of time to try and “read your mind” and then they

can try and guess. • Whoever guesses correctly then gets to come and select one.
