Welcome to Colorful Conversations!

Introduce the session by welcoming students and explaining that today they will learn how different colors can represent different emotions. Mention that each color can help us express how we're feeling.

Happy & Cheerful

Discuss this slide by asking the students what feelings they associate with bright, warm colors. Use the color #FFCDD2 as an example of a cheerful color.

Calm or a Bit Sad

Encourage students to think of this cool color and how it might represent calm or even a little bit of sadness. Ask guiding questions to help them form their own ideas.

Peaceful & Cool

Discuss blue tones with the students and how they might feel when they see it. Encourage them to share if they've ever felt peaceful or cool when seeing similar colors.

Express Yourself!

Conclude the slide deck by summarizing that colors can express many different feelings. Invite student contributions on what colors represent for them.
