Lesson Plan

Feelings Friends Lesson Plan

Students will recognize and name four basic feelings (happy, sad, angry, surprised) through circle games and puppet play, practice sharing personal emotions, and listen to peers with kindness in a supportive group.

Identifying and talking about emotions builds empathy, self-awareness, and social skills in young learners, setting the stage for positive relationships and emotional regulation.
