Welcome the student warmly. Introduce yourself as the Feelings Detective leader and set a positive tone. Mention that today’s mission is to explore thoughts, feelings, and actions like real detectives.

Show the materials on your table or desk. Pass each item to the student as you name it, building excitement about tools for our detective work.

Explain the flow of today’s session. Keep it brief so the student knows what to expect and stays engaged.

Hand over a Detective Badge. Encourage the student to wear it proudly. Ask them to share one feeling from today and draw it in their Feelings Detective Journal.

Point to each part of the poster: Thoughts at the top, then Feelings, then Actions. Use the recess example to illustrate. Ask the student to repeat each word and point to the corresponding corner.

Draw the first Scenario Card and read it together. Prompt the student with the questions on the slide. Model your own ideas, then invite the student’s answers. Repeat with 3–4 cards.

Give the student the worksheet and crayons. Read the scenario together. Help them fill in each box: Thought, Feeling, and Action. Offer praise and prompts as needed.

Guide the student to look at their completed worksheet. Ask reflection questions. Encourage them to keep using the triangle in daily life and to write in their journal. Celebrate their detective work!
