EMOSI

Circle Time:

Activity 1:

Talk with the pupils about things that make you happy.
Talk with the pupils about things that make you sad.
Talk with the pupils about what we can do to feel better when we are sad or angry.
Ask each pupils how they are feeling today.

Activity 2:

ACTIVITY: Exploring Feelings (5 - 7 minutes)

Materials: a grocery bag with pictures of faces
showing a variety of emotions such as fear,
happiness, sadness, boredom, pride, anger, etc.
Have the children gather in a circle. Show them
one of the pictures from the bag. Ask if they can
guess what the emotion is and why a person
might feel that way. Perhaps the children will
want to share stories of when they have felt that
emotion. Let each child pull a different picture
from the bag and identify the emotion. Continue
around the circle until each child has had a turn.

Activity 3:

Song: If You're Happy and You Know It

Invite the children to sing along with this
favorite tune. For each verse, let a different child
pick an emotion and choose an action to go
along with it.

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
