Children sit in a circle. Show simple emotion cards (happy, sad, angry, scared). Each child picks one and shares a time they felt that way or acts it out. The teacher models language (“I feel ___ because ___”), helping children name and express their emotions comfortably.

For this activity you have to write different emotion on slip. During activity all student should sit in a circle. Keep emotion slip in a bowl and put this bowl in the centre. Now call one student to take one slip from the bowl. After taking slip, he/she is supposed to read the emotion written on the slip but not allow to tell other student. After reading the emotion written on the slip he/she is supped to act that emotion or make his/her face accordingly, and other student are supposed to recognised that emotion. This activity can be done with any number of children and slip can be sue repeatedly, Teacher can here also explain that one emotion can be expressed in many different ways.

A simple and very effective activity for this topic (understanding real vs expressed emotions) is:

🎭 “Emotion Charades with a Twist”

How it works:

1. Give students short scenarios (like Li Wei or Maya).

2. One student acts out the emotion shown outside (e.g., smiling/laughing).

3. The class guesses:

What emotion is being expressed?

What emotion might be felt inside?

4. Reveal the actual feeling and discuss.

Example:

Student acts laughing → Class guesses “happy”

Teacher asks: “Could they be feeling something else inside?” → “Embarrassed!”

Why this works:

Helps children understand that feelings and expressions can be different

Builds empathy and emotional awareness

Makes learning fun and interactive

Activities like emotion charades and role-play are widely used in SEL to help students identify and understand emotions in themselves and others. (Collegenp)

If you want, I can turn this into a complete mini lesson plan with objective, materials, and exit ticket 😊

Activity: Emotion Statue Game

Children listen to an emotion word (e.g. surprised, frustrated, joyful) called out by the teacher.

Then, each child freezes in a “statue” posture and facial expression that matches that emotion.

After everyone has made their statue, children describe what they see: “Why do you think this statue looks surprised?” or “What about eyes, mouth, body posture?”

How it supports development:

Builds emotional vocabulary: connects words to visible cues (face, posture).

Strengthens emotional awareness & recognition, noticing how emotions show up in themselves and in others.

Supports social-emotional skills by letting children express feelings, respect others’ feelings, and talk about them.

As a teacher, verbally express your own emotions (“I feel sad because it’s raining, so I’ll take a deep breath”).


2. Storytelling: Read books or tell stories where characters experience and share emotions, emphasizing it’s normal to feel sad or frustrated.
