Welcome, teachers! Introduce today’s lesson: 'Mood Monsters'. Explain we’ll explore emotions and practice simple calming techniques.

Read the objectives aloud and briefly explain each. Ensure students know what they’ll learn and why it’s fun.

Highlight the importance of early emotional skills. Share a short anecdote if you have one.

Show the actual materials or images so teachers know what to prepare.

Go over each prep step. Recommend doing this 10 minutes before class starts.

Script: 'Let’s sit in a circle! How are you feeling today?' Show cards and invite responses.

Demonstrate 'feeding' cards to the puppet and lead deep breaths slowly. Guide students with verbal cues.

Encourage each child to choose a calming tool. Observe and support as needed.

Invite students to share which strategy helped them most. Emphasize ongoing practice.

Thank teachers and remind them to revisit these activities regularly.
