In this activity, you will play a game of peekaboo with the child while practicing expressing various emotions. This will give the child the opportunity to learn the names and characteristics of emotions so they can learn and practice their emotional literacy. Encourage the child to pretend to feel the different emotions during the game by talking about what it feels like when you have that emotion, and what your face and body look like.
