Lesson Plan

Feelings Safari

Students will embark on a playful ‘Feelings Safari’ to identify and name basic emotions, learn a simple balloon-breathing strategy for self-regulation, and practice matching feelings to scenarios.

Building emotional literacy and self-regulation at the Kindergarten level helps children recognize and manage their feelings, fostering a positive classroom climate and lifelong well-being skills.
