POSTER ACTIVITY – I Have Many Feelings! Poster
1. Print or copy the activity poster to color.
2. Talk about poster, saying, “I have many feelings!” (happy, frightened, angry, sad)
• Talk about experiences children have that bring on these feelings and what they can do to feel better.
3. Talk about the Home Activity: “Ask me to tell you when I am happy, sad, angry, or frightened. Help me thank Heavenly Father when I am happy. Help me pray so the Holy Ghost can help me feel better when I feel sad, angry, or frightened.”
THOUGHT TREAT: Feeling-face cookies. Give each child two cookies, one frosted with a smile and the other with a frown. As they eat each cookie, talk about feelings that come with that expression: smile (happy) and frown (angry, sad). Give them a mirror so they can try expressions. Show them how to look surprised (mouth open). The best expression is a smile that comes from making the right choices.
Sing “Smiles” (above) to turn frown upside-down and smile the frown away.
