Learn with Rufus: Feelings and Emotions

Have fun learning how facial expressions reveal what people are feeling!

The ability to identify facial expressions and emotions is important for interpersonal interactions and provides a basis for communications between two or more people. A young child may find such responses difficult and confusing at times. As they grow, children learn to associate certain facial expressions with given emotions that allow them to decipher how another person is feeling.

With Learn with Rufus: Feelings and Emotions:

• Children will learn the facial expressions that correspond to emotions such as happy, sad, and anger
• Children will learn how to identify easier fully-formed emotions and more difficult subtle emotions
• You can customize the game to meet the needs of children with varying ability levels and learning styles
