What Students Will Learn
-
Children will begin to recognise basic emotions like happy, sad, mad, and scared using visuals, facial expressions, and simple words. Through colouring, drawing, and matching games, they build a vocabulary for their feelings.
-
Using doodling, storytelling, and imaginative roleplay, children learn that it’s okay to feel all emotions—and that expressing them in healthy ways (like drawing or talking) helps them feel better.
-
Children explore how emotions can look and feel by colouring in emotion characters, drawing their own mood monsters, or choosing colours that match how they feel inside.
