Emotional Flashcards, Take 1!

Here's a picture of my first batch of emotional flashcards:
The front side lists the emotion; the back lists a short definition, a three-letter summary (e.g., "Grr!" for frustration). The students hold up the appropriate card when they feel its emotion.

The students used them in class on Tuesday. A few observations...
  1. I cannot describe how deeply my heart sank when I got my first white card ("BORED")!
  2. I cannot describe how high my heart jumped when I got my first purple card ("CURIOUS")!
  3. Some students try to hold up three at a time! The use of clickers will alleviate that possibility...
Trying a second round on Thursday...
