Emotion Faces: Gather some paper and crayons or markers. Draw different faces showing various emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, and surprise. Once you’ve drawn them, try to make the same faces in a mirror. Can you guess what emotion each face is showing? Ask a family member or friend to guess too!
Emotion Story Time: Think of a story or a time when you felt a strong emotion. It could be a time you were really happy, like on your birthday, or a time you felt scared, like during a thunderstorm. Share your story with a friend or family member. How did you feel? What did you do to handle your emotions?
Emotion Hunt: Go on an “emotion hunt” around your home or school. Look for people or characters in books, TV shows, or movies who are showing different emotions. What clues help you figure out how they are feeling? Is it their facial expression, their words, or something else? Share your findings with your class or family.

**Smile and Learn**
Hello! How are you feeling today? Happy, sad, or maybe angry? I’m very happy today, but other days I’m not so much, and that’s okay. So, what do all these words have in common? That’s right, they are emotions! Learning to understand and express them will be very useful for you.
Emotions are how we react to the things that happen around us. There are many different types of emotions, but they are all equally important because they allow us to express and understand what’s going on inside us and the people around us. Emotions have a limited duration; they don’t last very long. This means that if we are feeling a certain way, like happy, it doesn’t mean we will always feel that way. That’s why we say that emotions are short-lived and can change.
Now that we have reviewed what emotions are, let’s focus on one: happiness. Can you tell me what happiness is? Happiness gives us a pleasant and pleasurable feeling. It occurs when we get something we have wanted very much or when we’re doing things we like. We also feel happy when we are with the people we love. Happiness is a positive emotion that makes us feel joyful, puts us in a good mood, and makes us want to smile. When our happiness is very intense, we can laugh out loud or even jump for joy.
There are lots of things that can make us feel joyful and happy. Did you know that we use more than 10 muscles every time we smile? Being with friends, eating our favorite desserts, spending time with family, playing with pets, celebrating birthdays, or when someone reads us a story are all things that can make us feel happy. I’m sure you’ve experienced at least one of these situations. Isn’t it awesome to feel happy? Happiness is an emotion we can experience alone and with family and friends. It’s very contagious!
It’s important to learn to listen to and express both our positive and negative emotions because they help us understand how we feel and communicate that to the people around us.
What about you? What do you do when you feel happy?

**Anger**
Now, let’s take a closer look at another basic emotion: anger. Can you explain what anger is? This emotion can also be called rage when it is very intense. It gives us an unpleasant feeling of disgust, often when we do not get something we want. Anger is a negative emotion that can cause us to feel mad and frustrated, which is why it’s important to learn to detect and manage it.
Imagine you are in the park playing and you see something unfair happen. What does it make you feel? Angry, exactly! When we see unfair situations or things donât go our way, it’s normal to feel angry or really mad. We can also experience anger when we feel disappointed or rejected, like when we want to keep playing but it’s bedtime, or when someone turns off the TV while we are watching.
We can express anger in many different ways, such as through a tantrum, crying, or yelling. Negative emotions are just as necessary as positive ones, and that’s why it’s important to learn to listen to and express them. They allow us to understand how we feel and communicate that to the people around us.

Now, let’s focus on sadness. Can you tell me what sadness is? This emotion produces an unpleasant feeling of pain. It happens when we feel hurt because we lose a person or thing that we love. Sadness is a negative emotion that can make us feel unhappy, and sometimes we express it through crying. Have you ever felt like crying? It’s important for others to know how you feel so they can help you feel better.
When we are in situations that make us feel sad, like saying goodbye to someone we love or losing a favorite toy, it’s normal to feel that way. Itâs important to know when we are sad because it helps us understand what is happening to us and to ask for help if necessary.

When you feel embarrassed, remember that we all make mistakes, and there’s no need to feel bad about it. If you ever feel so embarrassed that you don’t want to do things you like, talk to someone you trust. They can help you see things differently.
