ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English How to Identify SADNESS ???? RECOGNIZING EMOTIONS for Kids ???? Episode 3
Hello and welcome to Smile and Learn! How are you feeling today? Sometimes, it’s hard to answer that question. Let me tell you a story. I had a big soccer game the other day. My team and I practiced a lot, but we didn’t win. I felt really sad, like there was a heavy weight on my chest. Have you ever felt like that?
When we don’t understand our feelings, we might feel mixed up or unsure. Our bodies give us clues about what we’re feeling. These clues can help us understand our own emotions and even guess how others are feeling.
Today, let’s talk about sadness. Sadness is a normal feeling when we lose something or hear bad news. It can feel heavy and make us feel down. But even though it’s not fun, sadness is important. It helps us think about what matters to us and understand other feelings better.
When we’re sad, we might feel heavy or not want to move. Our shoulders might droop, and we might breathe slowly. Sometimes, we feel like crying, and our face shows it too. Our head might hang down, and tears might come to our eyes.
People around us can tell when we’re sad, and they might want to help. It’s important to know how to handle sadness. Doing things like taking a walk, listening to happy music, or playing can help us feel better.
We don’t have to be sad alone. Talking to someone we trust can make us feel better. Remember my soccer game? Even though we lost, our coach and parents helped us see that losing is okay. They cheered us up and told us to keep trying. That support made me feel a little better.
Understanding how our bodies feel when we’re sad helps us know our emotions better. This way, we can share our feelings with others.

Emotion Charades: Gather your family or friends and play a game of charades using different emotions. Take turns acting out feelings like happiness, sadness, anger, and surprise without using words. See if others can guess the emotion you’re showing. This will help you recognize how emotions look on the outside and understand them better.
Feelings Journal: Create a simple journal where you can draw or write about your feelings each day. Use colors to show how strong your emotions are. For example, blue might be for sadness, and yellow for happiness. At the end of the week, look back at your journal to see how your feelings changed and what might have caused those changes.
Emotion Detective: Next time you’re watching a movie or reading a story, be an emotion detective! Pay attention to the characters and try to guess how they are feeling based on their actions and expressions. Discuss with a friend or family member why you think the character feels that way and what clues helped you decide.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello and welcome to Smile and Learn! How are you today? I’m sure answering this question isn’t always easy. The other day, I had an important soccer game; it was the championship final. My team and I had trained really hard, but it wasn’t our best day, and we lost the game. I felt a huge weight in my chest and started breathing slower and deeper. I couldn’t believe that after working so hard, we lost such an important game. It was tough.
Has this ever happened to you? If we don’t understand our emotions, we can feel frustrated, confused, or uncomfortable because we don’t know how to react. The sensations we feel in our bodies can give us clues about what emotions we are experiencing. It can also help us identify what others are feeling.
Today, we’re going to talk about one of the most basic emotions: sadness. It’s a normal response when we lose something or someone, when we receive disappointing news, or when we’re in an unhappy situation. Sadness creates an unpleasant sensation, like a heaviness, and it affects our bodies in certain ways.
It’s important to remember that even though sadness is uncomfortable, it’s necessary. It helps us adapt to unexpected situations or new realities. It also gives us a moment to reflect. Being sad makes us realize how valuable people and things are to us, and it helps us recognize and feel other emotions too.
Now that we know what sadness is, have you ever thought about how it affects your body? When you’re sad, you might feel a weight on your chest or throughout your body. You might not want to move, your shoulders may slump, and your breathing could become slower and deeper. Sometimes, you might feel a lump in your throat, like you’re about to cry. Your facial expressions can also reflect your feelings; your head might hang down, you might look at the ground, your eyebrows may tense, or tears might come to your eyes.
The people around you can sense your sadness, which can affect how they feel and interact with you. They might ask how you’re feeling and how they can help. Even though it’s natural, learning to manage your sadness is important for your well-being. You can try going for a walk, listening to uplifting music, or engaging in physical activity to feel better. It can really help!
We can also think about who we can talk to when we feel this way. We don’t have to be sad alone; sometimes, just having someone listen and support us can make a big difference.
Remember when I mentioned losing my soccer game? We were all really sad, but our coach and parents helped us see that losing is part of life. We can always learn from it to improve in the future. They also congratulated us on our hard work and encouraged us to keep practicing. My sadness didn’t disappear immediately, but feeling supported helped me feel a little better.
Learning to identify the bodily sensations that emotions create is very useful. This way, we can understand our emotions better and express them to others.
