Good feelings promote good learning

The blog is back!!! I will be more diligent in posting more frequently. :)

Our big focus this year is on the "Social & Emotional" development of the children that we work with. This has to been in place before we can accomplish all the wonderful things that we want to with these little friends of ours.

Hence, in our first blog I'd like to share a fun activity with you on feelings.

SIMON SAYS FEELINGS
Procedure
- This game promotes familiarity of feeling words & understanding of one's own feelings.
- Play "Simon Says" with the children substituting feeling phrases for the usual directions.
     "Simon says, make a happy face."
     "Simon says, make an angry face."
     "Simon says, look scared."
- In between commands, ask questions about those feelings, such as "What makes you feel happy?", "What do you do when you are angrey?"
