- Make different emotion faces
and have children guess what you might be feeling.
- Throughout the day, help
children learn to label their own emotions (e.g., it looks like you are
feeling mad that we can't go outside; what can we do to help you feel
better?) what make
you feel sad
- While reading stories to
children, have children guess how the characters in the story are feeling.
Ask questions like “How can you tell that the character is feeling that
way? Can you make a face that shows that feeling?”
- During mealtime, tell children
about a situation that makes you feel a particular emotion (e.g., happy,
sad, frustrated, angry, jealous, etc.). Then ask children to share the
things that make them feel that same emotion.
- Make up silly songs about
different emotions, using any tune. For example (to row row your boat) — I
feel happy when I play outside. Let me show you my happy face (everyone
makes a happy face together). I feel angry when someone takes my toy. Let
me show you my angry face (everyone make an angry face together).I feel
scared when I hear a loud noise. Let me show my scared face (everyone make
a scared face together).
