Feelings- Identifying & Sharing (VIDEO & Guidance Lesson)

Educator: Can you tell me what you're feeling? Or what the other person might have been feeling?

Student: I don't know *shrugs shoulders*

How many times have you dealt with or seen a similar situation, especially with an elementary aged student... If you're anything like me i'm sure the answer is somewhere between a lot and always! With that being said I continued to realize the importance of teaching students how to identify some of the basic feelings people experience. Establishing this base allows the above conversations to be much more fruitful and enables us to help them develop empathy and the ability to recognize their own feelings.

This product includes a video covering some basic feelings (sad, happy, afraid, frustrated etc.), a pre-scripted guidance lesson and an activity for the kids to complete following the lesson. You'll have everything you need to effectively teach your students about feelings with all the ground work done for you.
