Emotion Awakeners_Final Project

Emotion Awakeners is a Twine-based digital game designed to teach 5th-grade students the fundamentals of social-emotional learning (SEL). Players explore emotions—joy, sadness, anger, embarrassment, anxiety and more—through real-life scenarios, engaging with interactive storytelling and decision-making. The game’s goal is to foster a deeper understanding of emotional diversity and the role emotions play in daily interactions. By using educational theories to guide its design, the game offers an immersive way to practice empathy, emotional regulation, and decision-making skills in a safe, playful environment.
