Lesson Plan: How Does She Feel?

A guide for using our resources

Children will identify and analyze different emotions.

Social and Life Skills Focus: selfawareness

Simple, spectacular ideas to boost your lessons.

• In this imaginative yet very relatable picture book, Llewellyn learns the value of letting his feelings out rather than stuffing them away.

• On small slips of paper, write feelings words. You can also draw faces. Put the slips in a paper bag.
• Pass the bag around the circle, letting each child pick a feeling at random. Have them make a face that shows the feeling they picked as the rest of the group tries to guess it.

• The word feel is on each page of the mini book. Together, find and circle it each time it appears

Skill: vocabulary, oral language

Materials: Feelings Cube Template sheet, crayons, scissors, tape

• Print out as many templates as you need to make the number of cubes you want. You can have children color the emoji faces before you assemble the cubes. Then follow the instructions on the skill sheet to assemble.
• You can introduce the game at circle time. Toss the cube and show children which side landed face up. Then finish the sentence. For example, I feel happy when I see all of you each morning.
• Go around the circle, letting children take turns rolling and finishing the sentence.
• If you’d like, let kids play in small groups, or leave a cube out for center time.
