Lesson Plan

Emotion Explorer Lesson Plan

Students will identify and label a variety of emotions using visual flashcards, complete an emotion matching activity, journal about their mood, and practice a breathing strategy to enhance self-regulation during a one-on-one 30-minute session.

Accurately recognizing and articulating emotions builds self-awareness, supports emotional regulation, and provides tools for coping with stressors, crucial skills for academic and personal success.
