Hello, little friend! Today, we’re going to talk about feelings. Feelings are like the weather inside us. Sometimes it’s sunny, and sometimes it’s rainy. Let’s see what different feelings we can have!
When you feel happy, it’s like the sun is shining bright! You might smile or laugh. Maybe you feel happy when you play with your toys or when you eat your favorite ice cream. What makes you happy?
Have you ever been surprised? It’s like when you open a present and didn’t know what was inside. Your eyes might get big, and you might say, “Wow!” Surprises can be fun!
Curious is when you want to learn more about something. It’s like when you see a new bug and want to know what it is. You might say, “Hmm, what’s that?” Being curious helps us learn new things!
Sometimes, we feel confused, like when we don’t understand something. It’s okay to feel this way. You might say, “Huh?” It’s a great time to ask questions and learn more!
Feeling excited is like when you’re about to go on a fun trip or see a friend you love. You might jump up and down and say, “Yay!” Excitement makes our hearts feel like they’re dancing!
Can you make a happy face? How about a surprised face? Try making faces for each feeling we talked about. It’s fun to practice and see how our faces change with each feeling!
Remember, all feelings are okay. They help us understand the world and ourselves better. Have fun exploring your feelings today!
Feelings Weather Chart: Create a “Feelings Weather Chart” at home. Draw a big sun, a cloud, a raindrop, and a rainbow on a piece of paper. Each day, talk about how you’re feeling and place a sticker or draw a face next to the weather that matches your feelings. Is it a sunny day because you’re happy, or a rainy day because you’re feeling a bit sad? This will help you understand and express your feelings better!
Feelings Treasure Hunt: Go on a “Feelings Treasure Hunt” around your house or classroom. Find objects that make you feel different emotions. For example, a toy might make you feel happy, a book might make you feel curious, and a puzzle might make you feel confused. Share your findings with a friend or family member and explain why each object makes you feel that way.
Feelings Storytime: With a grown-up, read a storybook and talk about how the characters might be feeling. Ask questions like, “How do you think the character feels right now?” or “What would make you feel the same way?” This will help you understand that everyone has feelings and it’s okay to talk about them.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Oh! Huh? Mm-hm. Ah! Oh… Huh? Uh… Huh! Hm? Huh, huh! Huh? Yay!”
