This paper describes an activity for second graders in the program of special courses of POIT, from Centro Educacional Objetivo, Brazil. Based on some difficulties shown by some gifted pupils in expressing feelings we have planned a “course” for young children to experience this expression in a non-threatening context. The course aims to enhance the balance between intellectual and emotional abilities. It uses comic books and role playing. We notice different attitudes from the children regarding the tasks, showing many ways of being. Their trajectory is portrayed by drawings and texts made by themselves. The conditions to the satisfactory accomplishment of the objectives are discussed.
