CCCS Standard Addressed: Grade level 3+
Materials used:
* Whiteboard with markers
* Blank paper and pencil for each child
* Facts about Feelings – Teacher’s copy
* Situations list – Teacher’s copy
Procedure
* Hook
Ask the children to name their best friends. Give them this scenario: "Imagine you are playing your favorite video game with your best friend. All of a sudden, your friend throws his joystick down and tells you that he no longer wants to play with you." Ask the children how they would feel. You may let them discuss the situation for a while.
* Steps in Activity
1 Distribute blank paper and instruct students to skip a line and write numbers from 1 to 10.
2 Ask the students to listen to each situation and five possible reactions for each and identify the feeling that best represents how they would react to the same situation.
3 Tally children’s answers on the whiteboard.
4 After tallying all situations, help children in translating numerical information into words. For example, ask questions like: "on the fourth situation, which feeling was the most frequent?" Ask many questions of the same nature to ensure the children have understood properly. Then, help them in drawing conclusions.
5 Continue the discussion about feelings by helping the children distinguish between pleasant and unpleasant emotions (Curtis et al, 2005). Alternatively, children can rank emotions from the most intense to the least intense. It is at this point that children should be made to understand the importance of defining their emotions in a more precise way.
6 The children should summarize the information by asking themselves what they have learnt about feelings in this lesson.
