EMOTIONS - 'Emotion of the Day' - Display (Large)

This display/activity is intended to help the child/children identify their emotions and the experiences that trigger those emotions.

At the start of the day, one emotion is to be highlighted and discussed with the children. The children are then encouraged to tell someone if they think they experience that emotion during the day. The aim is for the children to become more introspective of their emotions, and more perceptive of the emotions of others.

As a group activity the children have the chance to learn from their peer’s experiences as well as their own.

Pack includes:

• Changeable display banner with space for different ‘Emotion of the day’ cards.

• Emotion of the day display cards for happy, sad, excited, worried, angry, confused, scared, surprised.

• Small A6 emotion cards to be placed around the setting as a reminder of the ‘Emotion of the day’.

Keywords: picture/visual communication aids, feeling, feelings, emotions, emotion/emotional regulation/dysregulation/self-regulation, mindfulness
