Weather & Emotions

Introduce the concept of mapping emotions to different weather conditions. Encourage students to think creatively about how feelings can be represented by nature.

Weather Symbols & Feelings

Discuss different weather symbols (sunny, cloudy, rainy, stormy) and link each to a common emotion. Ask questions to engage the students in thinking about why these symbols may be connected to certain feelings.

Your Own Emotional Weather Map

Explain the main activity: students will create their own weather maps. Provide clear instructions and examples. Use visuals if possible to guide them.

Group Sharing & Discussion

Prepare for a group discussion where students can share their maps. Prompt them with questions like: 'Why did you choose that symbol?' or 'What does this weather tell us about your day?'

Wrap-Up & Reflection

Summarize the lesson by reiterating the connection between weather and emotions. Encourage students to reflect on their maps and think about how feelings can change over time.
