Life Skills - Term 1 - Week 4

Emotions are feelings that we experience every day. They can be happy, sad, angry, or scared. It's important to know what we feel and to understand that everyone has emotions. Today, we will talk about some common emotions and how they can affect us and those around us.

Let's look at some pictures of faces showing different emotions. For example, when someone smiles, they might be happy. When someone frowns, they might be sad. We can practice naming these emotions together. Can anyone tell me how they feel when they receive a gift? Yes, that’s right! They might feel happy or excited.

Now, let's play a game called Emotion Charades. I will show you a card with an emotion written on it, and you will act it out without using words. The rest of the class will guess the emotion. This will help us learn how to express our feelings through actions and understand how others might feel.

For our independent practice, I want you to draw a picture of a time when you felt a strong emotion. It could be a time you were happy, sad, or even scared. After you finish your drawing, we will share our pictures with the class and talk about what made us feel that way.
