Gamemaster's notes
Here’s a list that you could use. Choose 10 for a small sized group, more for anything bigger. Be careful, some are harder than others!
Aggravated / Alone / Angry / Anxious / Ashamed / Bitchy / Blissful / Bored / Calm / Chaotic / Cheerful / Confused / Curious / Dark / Defensive / Delusional / Depressed / Disappointed / Dorky / Drunk / Energetic / Excited / Fearful / Flirty / Forgetful / Giddy / Guilty / Happy / Heartbroken / High / Holy / Hopeful / Hungry / Intense / Jealous / Lazy / Lost / Loved / Moody / Morbid / Numb / Paranoid / Patient / Sad / Scared / Sick / Silly / Smart / Sorry / Surprised / Tired / Uncomfortable / Unwanted / Violated / Worthless
Variants
If you have enough players (15+), here's an optional easier variant for you. Create small teams - one mood for each team. One team plays for 5 minutes with the other players watching. When finished the watchers guess the mood. The next team goes next, and so on.
