Lesson Plan

Feelings Friends Lesson Plan

Learners will identify and express four basic emotions—happy, sad, angry, and scared—and practice simple coping skills using interactive flashcards, storytelling, puppetry, and reflection.

Building emotional awareness and self-regulation at the Pre-K level supports healthy social interactions, empathy development, and early coping strategies that underpin long-term emotional health.
