Hi there! How are you feeling today? Let’s talk about how we feel and have some fun!
Sometimes, we feel really happy and excited. When we feel like this, we can say, “I’m great today!” It’s like when you get to play your favorite game or eat your favorite snack. Yay! I’m great, I’m great, I’m great!
Other times, we feel okay and everything is just fine. We can say, “I’m fine today!” It’s like when you have a normal day at school and everything is good. I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine!
Sometimes, we feel just okay. It’s not too exciting, but it’s not bad either. We can say, “I’m okay today!” It’s like when you have a quiet day at home. I’m okay, I’m okay, I’m okay!
And sometimes, we feel tired. Maybe we played a lot or didn’t sleep enough. We can say, “I’m tired today!” It’s like when you need a nap after a busy day. I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m tired!
Now, let’s sing a little song about how we feel:
Hello, how are you?
I’m great today!
Hello, how are you?
I’m fine today!
Hello, how are you?
I’m okay today!
Hello, how are you?
I’m tired today!
Remember, it’s okay to feel different things every day. Just like the weather changes, our feelings do too. And that’s perfectly okay!
Have a wonderful day, and remember to share how you feel with your friends and family!
Feelings Chart: Create a feelings chart at home or in the classroom. Draw faces showing different emotions like happy, fine, okay, and tired. Each day, ask the children to place a sticker or draw a mark next to the face that matches how they feel. Discuss why they chose that feeling and what happened during the day to make them feel that way.
Feelings Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around the classroom or home to find objects that make you feel happy, fine, okay, or tired. For example, a favorite toy might make you feel happy, while a cozy blanket might make you feel tired. Share your findings with the group and explain why each object makes you feel a certain way.
Feelings Storytime: Read a storybook together and pause at different points to ask the children how they think the characters are feeling. Encourage them to use the phrases “I’m great,” “I’m fine,” “I’m okay,” or “I’m tired” to describe the characters’ emotions. Discuss how the characters’ feelings change throughout the story and relate it to their own experiences.
