‘The Way I Feel’ is a brand new collection of emotion-themed activities that just landed in the Lingokids app.
Starting September 7, kids ages 2 to 8 can explore big feelings like anger, worry, silliness, and joy through games, videos, and calm-down moments that feel like pure play, never a lesson.
If your little one has ever melted down in the cereal aisle or gone quiet after a rough day at daycare, you already know that feelings are a lot to carry when you are small. The Way I Feel gives kids a fun, low-pressure place to meet those feelings, name them, and giggle their way through them. Here is what just dropped, and how to try it.
What is ‘The Way I Feel’?
The Way I Feel is a themed collection of playful games and activities inside the Lingokids app, all built around emotions.
Think of it as a cozy corner of the app where every game, song, and short episode is about feelings: what they are, what they look like, and the small ways kids can move through them.
Lingokids is a kids entertainment app first, so this collection was designed to be genuinely fun before anything else. There are no worksheets and no “now repeat after me” moments. Kids press play because it makes them laugh and lights up their curiosity.
The emotional part, learning that it is okay to feel angry or scared, happens quietly in the background while they are busy having a good time.
Everything lives inside the app your family may already use, so there is nothing new to download and no separate purchase. The Way I Feel simply shows up as fresh content to explore.
What can kids play?
Kids can play a mix of games, watch short story episodes, and try calm-down activities, all themed around feelings.
The collection is varied on purpose, because a two-year-old and a seven-year-old reach for very different things. Here are some of the highlights your kids will find:
- Billy’s Emotions Games: Kids join Billy to spot, match, and react to different feelings in a bright, playful game that keeps them guessing.
- Photobooth Emotions: a silly, mirror-style activity where kids make and match expressive faces, from a big grumpy frown to an ear-to-ear grin.
- Memory Cards: Feelings: the classic flip-and-match memory game, reimagined with emotion faces so kids connect the feeling to the face.
- Mindful Breathing: a gentle, guided breathing moment that gives kids (and honestly, tired parents too) a simple way to slow down and reset.
- Backyard Tales episodes: short, funny story episodes like “I’m Angry!” and “Baby Bot is Scared,” where familiar characters bump into big feelings and figure out what to do next.
Each one stands on its own, so kids can dip into a two-minute game before dinner or settle in for a story episode at wind-down time. There is no set order and no right way to play.
Why feelings through play?
Feelings stick best when kids meet them through play, not through instruction. Young children are still building the vocabulary to say “I feel frustrated” or “I feel nervous,” and a lecture rarely lands. A game where Billy makes an angry face, or a story where Baby Bot is scared of the dark, gives kids a safe, funny, no-pressure way to recognize those feelings in someone else first, and then in themselves.
That is the whole idea behind The Way I Feel. The activities were built to entertain, and the emotional benefit is a happy side effect of that fun. When a kid laughs at a goofy Photobooth face or takes a slow breath alongside the app, they are not sitting through a feelings class. They are playing. The recognition, the naming, the “oh, I feel that way sometimes too” moment, all of it comes along for the ride.
It also gives you an easy in. After your kid plays Billy’s Emotions Game, “were you ever angry like Billy today?” becomes a natural question instead of a forced one. Small openings like that are often where the real conversations start.
If you want more of this beyond the app, we have a companion piece full of fun ways to help kids understand emotions that you can use at home, in the car, or anywhere a big feeling shows up.
