Emotion Balloons: Understanding Feelings

Understand and articulate emotions

In this lesson, students will explore emotions by drawing and labeling feelings on paper balloons. This activity uses the metaphor of balloons to help students understand how different emotions can 'lift' or 'weigh down' their mood. This lesson is important as it promotes self-awareness and emotional articulation in a playful and engaging manner, which is crucial for young students' social-emotional development.
