Feelings Finder
Name it, then handle it
About Feelings Finder
Work out what someone is feeling from what happened to them, and choose what would genuinely help. Every feeling is allowed here; the practice is in naming it.
Ankhdase tracks 2 distinct skills in Feelings Finder, including Naming feelings and What helps when upset. Because mastery is estimated per skill rather than per game, the questions shift toward whatever a student is getting wrong — and away from what they have already proved they know.
How to play
- Read what happened and choose the feeling that fits best.
- In What helps, pick the thing that would genuinely make the feeling easier to carry.
- No feeling is a wrong answer — the practice is in naming it.
- Some problems are too big to handle alone. Telling a grown-up you trust is always a good answer.
Skills Feelings Finder practices
- Naming feelings
- What helps when upset
Mastery is estimated separately for each of these, which is what lets the difficulty move independently — a student can be fluent on one and still be fed easier questions on another.
