How to do it Begin the session by introducing the idea that colours can represent feelings and emotions. Make sure that you stress that this is not an exact science. Different colours may mean different things to different people.
A good example of this is the colour red, which can mean anger and hate to one person and love and passion to another.
Once the group has grasped the idea ask them to form smaller groups or work in pairs. Hand out a selection of coloured squares with a pen to each pair or group. Ask the young people to look carefully at the squares and think about what feelings or emotions they associate with the colours. Then, they can use the pen to write the word on the colour. If a colour evokes a different response from each partner, write both words on the card.
