Feelings and want games
Choose one of the feelings below. Give hints about things that you want or want to do when you feel that way, answer your partner’s “Are you (feeling)…?” questions, and continue until you can say “Yes, I am”. They can only guess once per hint. If you are scoring, you get one point for each (correct) hint that you give before they guess correctly, so it’s best to start with hints that could be true for more than one feeling. Then take turns doing the same. Your teacher will tell you if, when and how you can use the hints on the following pages to help.
| cold | happy | hot |
| hungry | ill/ sick | sad |
| sleepy/ tired | thirsty | angry |
| frightened/ scared | bored | nervous/ stressed/ worried |
When your teacher stops you, ask about any feelings above which you are not sure about, working together to think of related “I want (to)…” sentences each time.
