  • What are some things that make you feel happy, and how do you show your happiness to others?
  • Can you think of a time when you felt really happy and wanted to dance or jump around? What happened?
  • Why do you think moving your body, like clapping or jumping, can make you feel even happier?
  1. Happy Moves Parade: Organize a mini parade in your classroom or at home. Ask the children to lead the parade by performing the happy moves they learned: clapping hands, shaking hips, stomping feet, and jumping up high. Encourage them to invite family members or classmates to join in. As they parade around, ask them to notice how these movements make them feel. Do they feel happier? Why do they think moving can change how we feel?

  2. Feelings Chart: Create a simple chart with different faces showing various emotions: happy, sad, surprised, and angry. Ask the children to draw or point to the face that shows how they feel after doing the happy moves. Discuss with them why they chose that face and what other activities make them feel happy. Encourage them to think about how they can help others feel happy too.

  3. Nature’s Happy Dance: Take the children outside for a short walk. Ask them to observe how nature moves: the leaves swaying, birds flying, or water flowing. Encourage them to mimic these movements and create their own “nature dance.” Discuss how being outside and moving like nature can make us feel happy and connected to the world around us.
