My emotions
10 minutes
Tell learners: Today we are learning about emotions. We all have lots of emotions such as happy, sad, shy, confused, scared and angry. We experience these emotions in our bodies and our brains. Feelings and emotions are an important part of our lives and our well-being.
Create a feelings thermometer for each learner.
Give out the feelings thermometer (see below), one for each learner, and a marker, such as a pebble. Read out the following sentences and ask learners to place their marker on the number or the emoji face: When it is raining, I feel…
•
When my favourite relative comes to visit, I feel…
•
When I hear a loud noise, I feel…
•
When I can’t do my homework, I feel…
•
When I can play my favourite game, I feel…
•
When I can’t play my favourite game, I feel

Have something (non-permanent) for the learners to mark or place on the feelings thermometer to show how they are feeling (e.g. clothes pegs, pebbles, Lego bricks).

Assessment ideas
Display a list of emotions on the whiteboard (happy, sad, shy, confused, scared, angry).
10 minutes
Resources
Choose an emotion that every learner can use to create an image (you could use a picture to help). Encourage the children to think carefully about what their bodies and what their faces will do to show the emotion. Allow some time for practice in pairs, if helpful. There should be no sound or touching of other people.
PL E
Choose two or three more examples so the learners have an experience of acting out several different emotions. Now ask for a volunteer to act out/mime one of the emotions practiced in front of the class. Whisper it to the volunteer and ask the other learners to guess it what it might be. Ask them what clues the person miming is giving (Is it their facial expression, what they are doing with their body, how they are acting etc?). Ask for two or three more volunteers to show different emotions. Reflect and set actions
Tell learners: Our emotions affect how we think and behave. How we think and behave can affect the feelings and actions of others. So, we need to be aware of our own emotions and those of others and to be able to talk about them if it helps.

M
Split the class into pairs. Ask the pairs to talk about something they do that makes them feel good or happy. Ask the learners how talking about something that makes them feel happy makes them feel right now?

Starter activity
I am unique!
5 minutes
Create a space in the classroom. Ask the learners to sit in a circle on the floor or on chairs. Place the noisemakers in the middle of the circle. Explain to the class that you are going to read out some sentences that you think make you unique to this class. If anyone else also has the same experience as you, they must run to the middle, pick up a noisemaker (shake it, blow it, bang it etc.) and say ‘Me too!’.
Two or three noisemakers (bells, rattle, drum, gong, whistle).
Examples: I think I am unique to this class because I am the only one who likes to cook.
•
I think I am unique to this class because I am the only one who was born in another country.
•
I think I am unique to this class because I am the only one who likes to watch football.
•
I think I am unique to this class because I am the only one who has tried roller-skating/skateboarding/parkour.
PL E
•
Ask some of the learners to try out their own ‘I think I am unique to this class because…’ sentences. It’s good to be me
20 minutes
Tell learners: Today we are finding out what makes us unique and what our strengths are. A strength is something we are good at, proud of, makes us special or something we have achieved. For example, one of my strengths is…
M
Main activities
Split the class into pairs. Ask learners to think of a strength each and remember it. Their partner can help the learner if they are struggling to think of something.
A ‘talking piece’ such as a toy, a ball or a nice rock.
SA
Now bring the classs together in a circle and introduce the ‘talking piece’. Explain that whoever is holding this talking piece is speaking and that the rest of the class are listening.
A list of strengths (kindness, generosity, good listening, courage, honesty, fairness, creativity, bravery, hopefulness, curiosity, teamwork, forgiveness).
Model this by going first. Hold the talking piece and say ‘It’s good to be me because one of my strengths is….’ and finish the sentence with something (different from before) that you are good at, proud of, makes you special or you have achieved. For example: It’s good to be me because one of my strengths is helping with the cooking at home.
You then pass the talking piece to a learner next to you. The learner repeats what you have said: It’s good to be you because one of your strengths is helping with the cooking at home. The learner then adds their own strength statement. For example: And it’s good to be me because one of my strengths is being a good friend. The ‘talking piece’ is then passed all the way around the circle. Learners repeat what the person just before them has said and then add their own sentence.
