Sample Activities:

 

·        I FEEL - Display pictures of faces showing certain emotions (e.g., happy, sad, confused). Students guess the feelings represented in the pictures and then share what makes them experience those same feelings. Give students an assortment of facial expression stickers (or circles with the expressions drawn on them) and a chart similar to the one below. Students place the feeling face sticker next to the matching statement. Discuss the student choices.

I FEEL STATEMENT

      When someone hits me, I feel...
When someone kisses me, I feel...
When I lose a game, I feel...
When I’m with my friends, I feel...

Variation: Students select a picture from a grab bag, then describe the picture and how the people in the picture might be feeling. Students must use feeling words in the description. Emphasize that different people can have different feelings even if they are in the same situation.
