A little game involving chocolate...

Written by Jeannette

One of the issues my autistic children have is recognising emotions and talking about their feelings, we've been trying to help that along with a new Freddo product from Cadburys.

A little game involving chocolate...

The Freddo packs contain an average of 11 faces, each showing one of the following expressions:

Angry

Love

Happy

Thoughtful/Thinking

And

Cheeky.

We've each had a packet (59p approx) and taken it in turns (another good exercise for autistic children) to pick out a face and say something about the emotion on the face:

A typical reply from D has been:

"I love Bunny"

And from T:

"I like thinking about football".

Once they've answered, they're free to nibble the Freddo face, nom nom!

It's got them thinking about their emotions and turn-taking, with a chocolate bonus. Can't be bad!

We weren't sent any free packs, nor have I been asked to promote them but wanted to share the game we've played.
