Feelings activities for kindergarten

Social-Emotional Activities for Preschool and Kindergarten

When our little ones head off for school, they take their first steps in a lifelong journey of learning. Not only will they begin to build foundational skills that will pave the way for academic success, but they’ll also learn social-emotional skills like kindness, sharing, and self-regulation that will contribute to their overall success in life. Some research suggests that social-emotional activities might be the most important work children can do in the early years. In fact, one study found that social-emotional wellness in kindergarten correlated with success up until age 25.

Here are some of our favorite social-emotional activities to use with your preschool and kindergarten students.

Teach students to identify their emotions.

Identifying and labeling feelings (your own and others’) is a valuable life skill that takes lots of practice. These social-emotional activities are not only fun and engaging for little ones, they spark essential conversations that lead to deeper understanding.

1. Read, read, read!

There are TONS of children’s books featuring interesting main characters and story lines that teach social-emotional skills. Reading about characters they can relate to, in situations they can relate to, helps young children learn valuable lessons. Here are two book lists to get you started: Picture Books To Teach Students About Kindness and Children’s Books for Teaching Social Skills.

2. Sing

Different emotions evoke different feelings in our bodies. Teach your students this song to help them learn to identify what is really going on. Also, find role-play scenarios and reflection questions.

3. Play a monster emotions match game

Download the free game cards here. This fun and engaging game helps kids learn how to identify emotions in other people. The game begins as students walk around the room making the feeling face that matches their card. As they walk, they look for another student who seems to be demonstrating the same feeling. Once everyone thinks they have found their matching feeling friend, let them check their cards to see if they are right. Play a few rounds to give kids a chance to try out different feelings.

4. Make emotion masks

Source: No Time for Flash Cards

These masks are a great tool for talking about feelings. And all you need is paper plates (cut in half), craft sticks, tape, and markers. The activity will focus on four emotions: happy, mad, sad, and silly. For each emotion (and each mask), make a face and then ask the class to identify the emotion it represents. Once they correctly identify the emotion, have them use the marker to draw that face on one of the plates. You can use these masks during read-alouds (hold up the mask that shows how the main character is feeling) or during class conversations to reinforce their understanding of what different feelings look like.

5. Start each day with a check-in

This chart is a fun one to help students communicate how they’re feeling. Position it next to your classroom door, and have students point to the emoji that most closely matches how they’re feeling as they enter. This activity helps students get in the habit of monitoring their emotions and gives you valuable information about your students’ moods.

Teach kids strategies to deal with hard feelings.

Being able to identify and label feelings is a great start. Knowing what to do when unsettling feelings come up is the next step. Feelings like anger, sadness, and confusion will undoubtedly arise from time to time in the classroom. Here are a few social-emotional activities to help your students learn how to cope in a safe environment.

6. Use strategy cards

Build in lots of opportunities for kids to work on social skills.

Like everyone, little ones learn best by doing. Give them lots of opportunities to interact with peers one-on-one, in small groups, and as part of a whole class, ideally with as little adult interference as possible. As they play during social-emotional activities, they’ll learn to navigate among other kids who may have different styles and opinions. Activities like creative play, building projects, board games, and partner reading are great tools to reveal kids’ strengths and challenges as they begin to figure out how to manage school in the best way for themselves.

11. Create a culture of kindness

Create a culture of kindness in your classroom. Read your students the story Have You Filled a Bucket Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids by Carol McCloud. Then spread the love with a few of these activities.

12. Engage in compliment circles

Then try this fun game. Make “waffle” cones out of rolled-up sheets of construction paper, then have students practice passing their “ice cream” to a friend. Not only will students learn cooperation, but this game is also a great opportunity to use polite language such as “please” and “thank you.”

15. Watch friendship videos

Learning to get along with others takes a lot of practice. Here are 12 friendship videos that use compassion, wisdom, and humor to tackle what it means to be a good friend. Use them to jump-start conversations with your students as you build your classroom community.

Mindfulness is defined as a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. Mindfulness techniques help students handle big emotions (in themselves and others) and cultivate a sense of peace and calm.

16. Introduce mindfulness with children’s books

There are SO many reasons kids need to paint. Most find peace and relaxation in art. It focuses their minds and helps them look at the world around them in a much more engaged way.

20. Practice listening

Source: Fay School

Learning to listen, not only to themselves but to each other, is a critical skill for preschoolers. Take moments each day to sit quietly and listen for sounds for increasing lengths of time. Ring a chime and ask students to see how long they can hear the sound it makes. Pair students up and teach them to take turns asking questions and listening to answers. Play a round of “telephone.”

8 Fun Feelings Activities for Preschoolers

Early childhood is as much about developing a child emotionally as it is about building physical and intellectual capabilities.

These feelings activities for preschoolers bring art, songs, discussion and stories together, to help kids experience their emotions in practical ways.

How do you teach preschoolers about feelings?

As children progress through the stages of emotional development, they naturally learn to identify their feelings and express them in healthy ways.

Much of a child’s emotional development happens during play.

While children are playing dress-up or engaging in pretend play, they are imitating and acting out real-life scenarios, which are full of emotions.

Pretend play gives children a way to safely act out and practise big emotions such as fear, love, sorrow and anger.

However, parents and teachers can also find opportunities for teaching emotions to preschoolers by planning special feelings/emotions activities.

Here are a few ideas.

1. Mirror Emotions

Give children a hand-held mirror or stand in front of a large mirror. Ask them to explore their emotions in their reflections.

Ask them to make different faces. Start with easier emotions to identify, such as sad, happy and angry. Ask how their faces change as their emotions change.

Then, try to play with emotions such as boredom, excitement and worry. What do those faces look like?

Tell children to think of a cute puppy, running away from a lion, a very sad baby, or a big gift they are about to unwrap. How and why do their faces change?

2. Dance Your Feelings

Challenge kids to make up dances to show what various emotions feel like:

A tired dance – Use scarves, slow movements and sleepy faces to slow music.
An angry dance – Stomp around the room, making jerking movements with stern expressions to choppy music.
An excited dance – Jump around with lit-up faces and a happy tune.

Choose music to match the mood and try out different emotions.

As a variation, play different kinds of music and ask children to show you, through their dancing, how the music makes them feel.

3. Emotion Drawing

Ask kids to draw a picture that explains how they feel.

Do not direct this activity too much. Rather allow children to express themselves with their own creativity. Different children will find different ways of representing their emotions.

Another way to do this is to play music (use the music from the dancing activity above) and ask your children to draw how the music makes them feel.

Tip: use clues from movies to help you choose the sounds, such as a choppy violin that’s used when a shark is approaching, or a slow, classical song that creates a sad atmosphere.

4. How Would You Feel?

Have a discussion about feelings and ask kids how they would feel in various situations.

Here are some examples of questions about feelings:

How would you feel if…?
How did you feel when…?
How does it make you feel when…?
Tell me about a time when you felt really scared.
What does mom do that makes you feel loved?

Learning to verbalize and express feelings is an important part of healthy development.

5. Paper Plate Faces

Creative art is a great way to make a physical representation of emotions.

One of the simplest emotions crafts for preschoolers is to make paper plate faces, depicting various emotions.

These can be turned into masks or you could attach a craft stick (or ice-cream stick) to the bottom and turn them into puppets for kids to use during their dramatic play.

6. Story Time

Story time is one of the easiest ways to incorporate teaching emotions. Books are filled with characters experiencing the full array of emotions and learning important life lessons.

As you read your stories in class or at bedtime, remember to ask questions about what the characters are feeling, why they are feeling that way, as well as how you would feel in the same situation.

7. Feeling Faces

Challenge kids to page through a magazine, or a storybook and identify faces that show strong emotions. Animals’ emotions are also often clearly depicted in drawings.

Cut out faces from a magazine and sort them into groups – happy faces, sad faces, angry faces, etc.

8. Emotion Songs

Music is an excellent medium for teaching skills in early childhood. These cute songs are all about emotions and kids will enjoy singing along to them.

If You’re Happy

This version of the popular song “If You’re Happy and You Know It” is by Super Simple Songs and it incorporates more emotions. Use these or make it up as you go along.

If you’re happy happy happy, clap your hands.
If you’re happy happy happy, clap your hands.
If you’re happy happy happy, clap your hands, clap your hands.
If you’re happy happy happy, clap your hands.

If you’re angry angry angry, stomp your feet.
If you’re angry angry angry, stomp your feet.
If you’re angry angry angry, stomp your feet, stomp your feet.
If you’re angry angry angry, stomp your feet.

If you’re scared scared scared, say, “Oh no!”
If you’re scared scared scared, say, “Oh no!”
If you’re scared scared scared, say, “Oh no!” say, “Oh no!”
If you’re scared scared scared, say, “Oh no!”

If you’re sleepy sleepy sleepy, take a nap.
If you’re sleepy sleepy sleepy, take a nap.
If you’re sleepy sleepy sleepy, take a nap, take a nap.
If you’re sleepy sleepy sleepy, take a nap.

This is a Happy Face

This is a good song to introduce the topic of emotions and how our facial expression often reflects how we’re feeling.

You can listen to the tune here. Watch it and then play it in the background as you sing along and make the faces. It has great music to accompany all the emotions.

This is a happy face.
This is a happy face.
This is a happy face.
This is my happy face.

This is a sleepy face.
This is a sleepy face.
This is a sleepy face.

Progress of educational activities

1. Greeting.

Children enter and stand in a circle.

Teacher-psychologist: - Hello guys! Let's greet our guests, wish them good morning and good mood! How is your mood? (Children's answers)

Teacher-psychologist: And now let's greet each other.

- Hello, golden sun!

-Hello blue sky!

- Hello, breeze, grass!

- Hello, my friends!

Teacher-psychologist: I was going to your class and met a postman on the way. He gave me an unusual letter. Let's see what kind of letter? So, kindergarten "Fairy Tale" for children. This letter is for you. Who is it from? From Smesharik the Hedgehog. Do you know this? Shall we read the letter? Listen carefully.

(The psychologist reads the letter)

“Hello guys! The Hedgehog is writing to you from the country of Smesharikov. If someone does not know me, I send my photo (2nd slide). My favorite pastime is the compilation of various collections: wrappers, mushrooms, cacti. I look for items for my collections everywhere: in the mountains, the sea, even in a dark forest. Most recently, I wandered into one of these forests in search of something new for my collection.
And suddenly I went out to a clearing on which stood a beautiful palace (3rd slide). I became interested and I went into this palace. There lived different emotions: joy, anger, fear, surprise.
It turned out that on this day the evil wizard Sad-crying made his way into their kingdom (slide 6). He quarreled all the emotions among themselves, and I really love to reconcile everyone, even those who do not want to reconcile. And I succeeded. The evil wizard got angry with me and locked me in a dungeon. And he took away my laughter from me, and I love to laugh so much. Help me return my laughter and get out of the dungeon of his palace, and for this you need to complete the tasks of the evil wizard Sadcrying. Thank you guys, I believe you can easily cope with all his tasks.

Teacher - psychologist: - Well, guys, can we help Hedgehog?
You and I are going to have an unusual journey. Have you ever travelled?

What do you think is the best way to travel? (children's answers). Guys, I propose to fly on a magic carpet. Take your seats. Sit comfortably. Hold on tight to the carpet, otherwise you will fall.

Close your eyes. (Music sounds)

One, two, three, four, five…

Our carpet began to take off.

Imagine, feel how you slowly begin to rise above the ground towards a white fluffy cloud. You rise higher and higher, to the very clouds. You are flying on a carpet across the sky.

Over fields, over mountains, over deep seas.

We didn't have time to be surprised when it was time to land!

Five, four, three, two, one! Open your eyes.

2. Main part.

So we arrived at the clearing.

- With each correctly completed task, we will get closer to the castle of the evil wizard Sadcrying, the closer we get, the better we will see it, but for now we do not see it.

And here is the first task

Exercise "Depict an emotion"

The sad cryer has prepared a task for you: to portray two inhabitants of the palace of emotions.

1 pictogram - joy (slide 7).

Teacher - psychologist: - What does a person look like when he is happy? (Eyes sparkle, lips smile).
- Look at the beautiful faces of those who rejoice (8 slide).
- Guys, when are you happy?
- See how many reasons we have for joy (slide 9).
- Remember something joyful and when I count to 3 we will all depict joy together. Fine.

Psycho-gymnastics "Stream of joy" (calm music sounds)

(Children sit on the floor in a circle, hold hands, relax.)

Teacher-psychologist: -Guys, imagine that inside each of you a good , a cheerful stream. The water in the stream is clean, clear, warm. The stream is very small and mischievous. He cannot sit in one place for a long time. Let's play with him and mentally imagine how clean, transparent, warm water flows through your hands in a circle to each other.

Now let's smile at each other.

So the palace of the evil sorcerer Sad-crying (10 slide) has already become a little visible.

2 pictogram - anger.

Teacher - psychologist: - What does a person look like when he is angry? (The face is angry, the lips are compressed, the eyebrows are furrowed, the eyes are angry) - slide 11.
- How ugly we are when we are angry (12 slide).

When do you get angry? - 13 slide.
- Let's try to show how angry we are on the count of 3.

(Another piece of the palace - slide 14).

Exercise "Ways of mastering a negative emotional state"

(Children sit down at the tables)
Psychologist: - Guys, inflate the balloon and hold it so that it does not deflate. Imagine that the balloon is your body, and the air inside the balloon is your anger. What do you think will happen to the balloon if you let it out of your hands now? Release the ball and follow it. (Children release the ball, it quickly moves from side to side).

Did you notice that the ball was completely out of control? It is the same with an evil person. He can do things without controlling them. Can offend or even hit someone.

Now inflate another balloon and try to release air from it in small portions. What happens to the ball now? (He deflates)

What happens to the anger inside the balloon? Is it possible to control anger? (Answers)

- Sad cryer believes that if a person is angry, then this can last for a very long time. What do you think can be done to make anger quickly leave you? - 15 slide.

- Being angry is bad for health. With what kind of people is it more pleasant to communicate: with good or evil?

Teacher-psychologist: - I suggest you drive away this evil mood from us. Now I will teach you a magic spell against resentment and anger. You need to do the following. Start walking around the room and not talking to anyone, as soon as you want to talk, stop in front of one of your friends and say angrily and angrily the magic word “Tuh-tibi-tukh” three times, then continue to walk around the room. Well, the mood of anger immediately disappears right?
- Well done, he did not know that you could find the answer to this question. (16 slide).

The game "Screamers-clappers-silencers"

Teacher-psychologist: - Oh, here are some hands. So what is this assignment?
Sad cryer does not believe that we will be able to complete this task, because here you need to be very careful and remember the order of actions (17 slide). And the order is this: If I show a blue palm, then everyone needs to shout the sound “A” loudly together, if it’s green, then everyone needs to clap loudly together, if it’s red, then you need to sit quietly and quietly. Let's remember and practice. Well, now we are very carefully fulfilling this task of the evil wizard (slide 18).

(Children sit down at the tables)

Game "Magic bag"

Teacher-psychologist: - The sad cryer put various small objects into this bag and bewitched the bag so that you couldn't guess what was in it with your eyes closed. Who will be the first to try this task?
- Well done!

-And here's another task:

Exercise "Hide and Seek".

Find the same item in the picture and color it.

Another part of the castle appeared (19slide).

Physical education minute

Here we spread our hands,

As if surprised.

And to each other to the ground

They bowed to the waist!

Bent over, straightened up,

Children below, don't be lazy,

Bow, smile!

Exercise "Find the differences"

Teacher - psychologist: - We have the following task (20 slide). Sad-crying, as best he could, drew two residents of the palace of emotions. What are these emotions? They seem to be a little similar, but in fact they have 5 differences. We need to find all the differences.
- Well done, the last part of the castle has appeared (slide 21).

Exercise "Tower of Joy"

Teacher - psychologist: - And here is the Hedgehog, but laughter has not yet returned to him (22 slide). Sad crying is always sad, angry and very often cries, so that the action of his magic ends and laughter returns to the Hedgehog, you need to build a tower of joy.
To do this, each in turn needs to tell what he likes or what makes him happy. I will name what I like and hold out my hand palm up, and you will take turns coming up, saying what you like or what makes you happy and put your hand on my palm. What a good tower of joy we got, and the Hedgehog is laughing again. The hedgehog, as a token of gratitude and in memory of our fabulous lesson, gives you magic medals with his photo. Let when you are sad or angry, then this medal will help you become more cheerful and kind. (To the song “Smile everyone is awarded a medal with the image of a Hedgehog).

Teacher-psychologist: - Guys, look, there are unusual bags in front of you.

Let's try to open them. (The first pouch is opened. Angry exclamations are heard - a phonogram)

Is there any mood in this pouch? (Children's answers.)

The teacher opens the second bag. (A sonorous, cheerful laugh is heard - a phonogram.)

And what is the mood in this bag? (Children's answers.)

Well done, you guessed everything correctly: in the first bag there is an evil, "angry" mood, and in the second - joyful, cheerful.

What mood will we take with us to the group? (Children's answers.)

And now it's time for us to go back to kindergarten. Our journey ends.

Take your seats. Sit comfortably. Hold on tight to the carpet, otherwise you will fall.

Close your eyes.
