He throws the ball in his hand to one of the participants and asks him to tell his thoughts and feelings about the subject. The participant, whose speech is over, chooses the one that best fits his feelings from the 6 feeling cards in the referee and shows it to his friends. After the participant explains how he feels, he brainstorms in the group. The game continues in this way between the participants with the direction of the referee.
