Each player draws one Emotion Word Card andone Question Card. The question card gives the player a problem tosolve, question to answer or activity to perform based on theparticular emotion word. (See examples on pages 2 and 3)Activity 3: Using only the deck of Emotion Word Cards, have theplayers follow the directions on card 45.
