Welcome students and introduce the activity: “Today we’re going to play Freeze Frames of Emotion. When I show each face, we’ll ‘freeze’ our own faces to match it and name the feeling.”

Point to the picture and say, “This is Happy. Freeze your face in a big smile like this!” After a few seconds, ask volunteers: “How does your face feel when you’re happy?”

Introduce the next slide: “This is Sad. Let’s freeze with our mouths turned down and shoulders a little slumped.” After freezing, prompt: “What does sadness feel like in your face or body?”

Say, “Here is Angry. Make your eyebrows come together and press your lips tight.” Freeze for a few moments, then ask: “Where do you feel anger in your body?”

Explain: “This is Surprised. Open your eyes wide and drop your jaw a little.” Hold the freeze, then discuss: “What happens to your face when you’re surprised?”

Show the last emotion: “This is Scared. Pull your shoulders up and hug yourself a bit—freeze!” After a moment, ask: “How does being scared feel in your body?”
