Tool: Emotion cubes
A multipurpose facilitation tool for use with adolescents
The Adolescent Kit's Emotion Cubes are multipurpose tools for use by facilitators to encourage adolescents to explore, understand and express their feelings. For example, in activities such as "Emotion Story," adolescents use the cube as a creative prompt to choose an emotion they will explore and incorporate into a drawing or a story they create themselves. Facilitators can also adapt and improvise in different ways to use the emotion cube to encourage adolescents to express their feelings or to invent new activities.
