Harriet Beecher Stowe Students Acting Out Emotions: Feeling Charades in Action!
Students recently had a blast playing Feeling Charades as part of their BARR activities! In this engaging game, students acted out different emotions—like excitement, confusion, and fear—while classmates guessed the feelings. It was a fun way for students to explore emotions, practice empathy, and strengthen classroom connections.
