Hello and welcome to Smile and Learn! How are you feeling today? Sometimes, answering this question can be tricky. Let me tell you a story. One day, when I got home from school, I opened the door and saw all my friends and family. They were throwing me a surprise birthday party! There were balloons, presents, and a giant cake. I was so surprised that my heart skipped a beat. It was a wonderful feeling. Has anything like this ever happened to you?
If we don’t understand our emotions, we might feel confused or unsure about how to react. Our bodies give us clues about what we’re feeling. These clues can also help us understand how others are feeling.
Today, we’re going to talk about surprise. Surprise is a natural emotion that happens when something unexpected occurs. It can make you feel amazed, puzzled, or even a little nervous. Surprise doesn’t last long, and another emotion usually follows it, like happiness or sadness, depending on what caused the surprise.
Surprise is an important emotion because it helps us explore and sparks our curiosity. It makes us think about what to do when something unexpected happens.
Have you ever thought about how surprise affects your body? When you’re surprised, your heart might beat faster. You might feel a tingling sensation, and you may need to stop and catch your breath. If the surprise is big, it might feel like your heart skipped a beat. Your face shows surprise too; you usually open your eyes and mouth wide. Does this sound familiar?
Sometimes, a surprise can be so big that it makes us feel confused. When this happens, we can ask others for help to understand what happened. Just having someone listen can make us feel better.
Remember the surprise birthday party I told you about? It was unexpected, and I felt very excited. After a few seconds of surprise, I felt super happy.
Learning to recognize the feelings our bodies have when we experience emotions is very helpful. It helps us understand our emotions better and share them with others.

Surprise Face Drawing: Draw a picture of a surprised face. Think about what happens to your eyes, mouth, and eyebrows when you feel surprised. Share your drawing with a friend and see if they can guess the emotion. Discuss how your face changes when you feel different emotions.
Surprise Box Activity: With the help of an adult, create a “surprise box” using a small box or container. Place a few small, unexpected items inside (like a toy, a feather, or a funny picture). Take turns with a friend or family member to open the box and describe how you feel when you see what’s inside. Talk about how your body feels and what you notice about your reaction.
Emotion Detective: Become an emotion detective! Throughout the day, observe people around you and try to guess if they are surprised. Look for clues like wide eyes or open mouths. When you see someone who looks surprised, think about what might have caused their surprise. Share your observations with a family member and discuss how recognizing emotions can help us understand each other better.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello and welcome to Smile and Learn! How are you today? Answering this question isn’t always easy. The other day, when I got home from school, I opened the door and all my friends and family were there. It was my birthday, and they were throwing me a surprise party! There were balloons, presents, and a giant cake. I was breathless, and my heart skipped a beat. It was a really nice feeling. 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’re experiencing. They can also help us identify what others are feeling.
Today, we’re going to talk about one of the complex emotions: surprise. It’s a natural emotion that occurs in response to something unexpected. It can make you feel astonished, puzzled, or even a bit nervous. Surprise is a very short-lived emotion, and there’s usually another emotion that follows it, like happiness or sadness, depending on what caused the surprise.
It’s important to remember that surprise is a necessary emotion. It helps us explore and awakens our curiosity and interest. It prompts us to figure out what to do in unexpected situations.
Now that we know what surprise is, have you ever thought about how it affects your body? When you’re surprised, you may feel your heart start to beat faster. You might notice a slight tingling in your body, and you may even feel the need to stop and catch your breath. If the surprise is very strong, it might feel like your heart skipped a beat. Your face also reflects what you feel when you’re surprised; you usually open your eyes and mouth wide. Sound familiar?
Sometimes, a situation can be so surprising that it makes us feel confused. When this happens, we can turn to others for help to understand what happened. Sometimes, just having someone listen and support us can be enough to make us feel better.
Do you remember the situation I mentioned earlier about my surprise birthday party? It was quite unexpected, and I was very excited. After a few seconds of surprise, I felt super happy.
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.
See you next time!
