Eating our favorite dessert, like ice cream or cookies, can make our tummies and hearts feel happy!
Spending time with our family, like having a picnic or watching a movie together, is a wonderful way to feel happy.
Playing with our pets, like a dog or a cat, can make us giggle and feel joyful. Pets are so much fun!
Celebrating our birthdays with cake, balloons, and friends is a special way to feel happy and loved.
When someone reads us a story, it can take us on exciting adventures and make us feel happy inside.
Isn’t it amazing to feel happy? There are so many things around us that can make us smile and feel good. What makes you happy?
Smile Count Adventure: For one day, count how many times you smile. Ask a grown-up to help you keep track. At the end of the day, share your smile count with your family or friends. Talk about what made you smile the most and how it felt. Did you notice if smiling made you feel happier?
Happy Collage: Gather some old magazines, newspapers, or printouts with the help of an adult. Cut out pictures of things that make you happy, like friends, family, pets, or yummy treats. Glue them onto a piece of paper to create a “Happy Collage.” Share your collage with the class and explain why each picture makes you happy.
Happiness Hunt: Go on a “Happiness Hunt” around your home or school. Look for things that make you feel happy, like a favorite toy, a cozy blanket, or a friendly pet. Draw or take pictures of these happy things. Share your findings with a friend or family member and talk about why these things bring you joy.
