Treinar o reconhecimento de expressões faciais emocionais (REFE) pode auxiliar no incremento de outras habilidades socioemocionais, como teoria da mente (ToM). O objetivo foi desenvolver um treinamento de REFE para crianças e avaliar seus efeitos na acurácia desta habilidade e ToM. Participaram 61 crianças de 8 a 12 anos, alocadas aleatoriamente entre grupo intervenção (n = 32) e controle (n = 29), realizando tarefas pré e pós-intervenção de REFE e ToM (RMET-I). O grupo intervenção realizou o treinamento de REFE denominado Caçadores de Emoção. Todos os participantes aumentaram acurácia do reconhecimento de medo e nojo e reduziram da tristeza. Houve melhora em ambos os grupos na avaliação da ToM. Especificidades das tarefas utilizadas e do treinamento são apresentadas na discussão.
