CURRICULUM FOCUS

We are learning to use strategies to positively express our emotions.

VOCABULARY

ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Emotion Charades!

Choose one of the emotions and act it out. The people at home try and guess that emotion.

Here are some examples you could try:

Angry, sad, frustrated, happy, excited, nervous, furious, anxious, curious, surprised, jealous, calm, embarrassed, confused, relaxed.

Afterward, have a discussion with someone at home, “What can we do, when we feel that emotion, to make ourselves feel better?”

Discuss positive self-talk/affirmations and ‘cool down’ strategies (e.g. having a drink, reading a book, quiet time, taking ten deep breaths).
