How to use it

  1. Look across the groups and notice any words or symbols that stand out.
  2. Choose one, more than one, unsure, or none of these.
  3. Add a word from your own language or experience if you want.

Reflection prompts

  • Which words feel similar, and which feel different?
  • Is there a word you wish were included?
  • How would you describe your experience in your own way?

Facilitator guidance

Display as an optional language resource. Avoid dividing emotions into positive and negative categories or assuming everyone uses the same words in the same way.

Adaptations & accessibility

  • Provide child, teen, adult, translated, and symbol-supported editions.
  • Use high-contrast grouping and large print.
  • Offer a portable copy for people who prefer private selection.
