Great facial expression game! I've been looking for one that has a variety of faces - kids and adults- and is less scary looking than the other free on-line facial expression generator (anyone else know the one I'm talking about - it's a woman's face and some of the expressions are pretty scary looking, IMO)

Shared this one with school.

Thanks for this - as always, your links are the best!

I think you're talking about the one at Do2Learn, and I agree she's kind of creepy.  I have some more online facial expressions/emotions activities here:

Truly wonderful websites.
Thank you NorwayMom!  We are having some major social issues with my DD and I am having a hard time finding a social skills group (I did check your links) and they aren't letting her join the school based group yet:(  For now I'm on my own so I will try these with her tonight.

Believe me, I know all about "do-it-yourself" autism training.  My kids really only get academics at school, and there are few private services in Norway, and none in my neck of the woods.
