Teach feelings and big emotions to your young learners with a heart-shaped printable feelings book.
Teaching Feelings and Big Emotions
Understanding different emotions is important for children, but understanding how they affect them personally is crucial to a child’s emotional development. This heart-themed template encourages children to think about how some of the big emotions affect them and what makes them feel a particular way. The different emotions that are covered in this activity include:
- Mad
- Proud
- Scared
- Excited
- Happy
✂️ Give Them the (Safety) Scissors
This template makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities.
With adult supervision, cutting
skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:
- strengthen finger and hand muscles
- build dexterity and fine motor skills
- improve hand-eye coordination
- Develop focus and attention. And all of these skills are necessary to use a pencil and a fork; button a shirt and tie shoes; write, type and swipe.
Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills!
