Life Skills - Term 1 - Week 9

Emotions are feelings that we experience in different situations. They can be happy, sad, angry, or scared. It's important to understand our emotions because they help us communicate how we feel to others. Today, we will learn about some common emotions and how we can express them.

Let's look at some pictures of children showing different emotions. For example, when a child smiles, they might be feeling happy. When a child frowns, they might be feeling sad. We can also use words to describe how we feel, like 'I feel excited' or 'I feel worried.'

In pairs, one student will act out an emotion without using words, while the other guesses what emotion it is. For example, if a student pretends to cry, their partner might guess 'sad.' This activity helps us learn to recognize emotions through body language and expressions.

Now, I want you to draw a picture of yourself showing an emotion. It could be happy, sad, angry, or scared. After you finish your drawing, write a sentence about why you feel that way. This will help you express your feelings creatively.
