Introduce the concept of emotional check-ins. Talk about the importance of being aware of our own emotions and how expressing them can foster understanding and support within a group. Mention that even small check-ins can make a big difference.

Explain what emotional check-ins are and why they matter. Use visuals on the slide to highlight the connection between understanding emotions and building supportive relationships.

Discuss the different ways to express emotions. Encourage students to think of descriptive words for how they might feel, and remind them that no emotion is 'bad' or should be ignored.

This slide details the process for the group activity. Explain that students will share their feelings in small groups and practice supportive communication.

Wrap-up the lesson with reflections and discussion. Ask volunteer students to share their reflections on the activity and discuss the importance of regularly checking in with one another.
