Goal:

Becoming aware of what is good or bad for me

Steps

Print the pictures of the "passions" in colour and large size. Ideally, you can laminate them so that you can reuse the game later. 

Some of the pictures should be printed several times, so that there are some duplicates. 

It's about distinguishing between what is good for you and what is bad for you, in terms of passion. 

The participants are divided into 2 teams. 

If you have less than 6 players, you may prefer to play against the clock, allowing only 15 seconds for each child to take the relay and place their image where they want it, under the "good" or "bad" sign 

  

At the start of the game, the first player in each line receives a picture, which he or she must place under the "good" or "bad" sign, depending on his or her choice. They only have a few seconds to look at the picture and stick it on. 

 

Have the participants do this relay by jumping up and down, or backwards, etc., so that the attention is focused on the sporting aspect of the relay and the participants have very little time to really think about the meaning of the image they have received 

Do you agree with so-and-so's choice to put his picture on the "good" sign? 

If there were opposing choices, get the children to react to this. For example, one child put the image "disgust" under the "good" sign, but another would have put it under the "bad" sign.

  

You can change the way you "classify passions". In "good" and "bad" it is not always possible or so obvious, it depends on the situation. Can you rank them in pairs, with one passion being the opposite of the other? Let some children put the opposite images back together (except for anger which is alone) and conclude. 

The aim of this game is to make participants understand that "passions" (often called "feelings" in everyday language) arise to make us aware, in an emotional way, that something related to good and bad is going on inside us. 

 

Our 5 senses have perceived something and warn us: it can be good or bad. But what is good or bad can be understood, either naturally or morally. 

 

For example, having a blood test may not be good for my sensitivity: it scares me or hurts me. But it is good for me, for my health (sensory bad, but moral good). 

 

But for humans, unlike animals, passions are not spontaneously oriented and measured by the moral good. From this point of view, they are somewhat disordered. I can passionately  

love something that is morally wrong... For example, drinking too much alcohol gives me immediate pleasure but destroys my health in the long term (sensible good, but morally bad) 

 

This is why man must learn to know his passions, to listen to them, in order to learn to control them, so that his passionate reaction is not inappropriate to his true moral good. And it is through the virtues that the passions can be put at the service of man's good, his purpose, his happiness. 

 

The good advice:  "Nothing great has been accomplished in the world without passion
