My Feelings Warning Signs This Lesson: Wellbeing Learning Intention is for children to recognise the signs their bodies send them when they are feeling unsafe or unhappy. A class brainstorm is a fun way to get the class thinking about these warning signs. They can include how their shoulders, tummy, hands and face feel. Ask children to draw or describe where they feel these signs on each part of the outline of their body below.
