Exploring Our Emotions: A Fun Introduction for Little Learners

Introduction: The Magic of Feelings

Welcome to our exciting exploration of emotions, little friends! Today, we will discover the magical world of feelings and learn how they make us special. Are you ready to go on an adventure?

Activity: The Emotion Monsters

Materials Needed:

Steps:

  1. Gather Around: Invite the children to sit in a circle. Start by introducing a fluffy toy or puppet as "Emmy the Emotion Monster." Explain that Emmy feels all sorts of feelings like happy, sad, angry, and surprised.

  2. Feelings Discussion: Ask the children to share some feelings they know. Engage them by prompting with questions like:

    • "How do you feel when you see a rainbow?"
    • "What makes you feel sad?"
    • "Can you show me a happy face?"

  3. Draw Our Feelings: Hand out colourful paper and crayons. Encourage the children to draw their own emotion monsters. Remind them to think about how their monster feels:

    • If they're happy, they can draw a big smile and bright colours.
    • If their monster is sad, they might choose blue colours and a frown.

  4. Share Our Monsters: Once everyone has finished drawing, invite the children to share their emotion monsters with the group. Ask them to explain what their monster feels and why. This encourages confidence and allows them to express themselves.

  5. Emotion Dance Party: To wrap up the lesson, play some lively music. Encourage the children to dance and mimic different emotions—happy jumps, sad walks, angry stomps, and surprised twirls! This playful movement helps them embody and recognise different emotions.

Conclusion: Celebrating Our Feelings

After the dance party, gather the children and bring their attention back to Emmy the Emotion Monster. Highlight how all feelings are normal and important. Remind them that by sharing their feelings, they become stronger friends.

Let’s remember, whether we feel happy, sad, angry, or all sorts of things, it’s always good to talk about our feelings and support each other!

So, who’s ready to make their own emotion monster? 🥳
