Welcome everyone to our Feelings Safari! Today we’ll explore emotions like real safari explorers. Introduce the lesson objective: identifying, labeling, and discussing feelings through a fun adventure.

Warm-Up: Have students sit in a circle, put on their safari headbands, and gather around the Safari Map Poster. Show the first Emotion Safari Story Card and model how to spot emotions in faces and body language.

Explain the map journey: students will travel from station to station, stopping to draw a card, act out the emotion, and let peers guess.

Divide students into small groups, hand out Emotion Safari Story Cards, and guide them through each station. Remind them to say, “I feel ___ when ___” after peers guess correctly.

Use these examples to model observation and discussion. Point out facial cues and body language before students begin independent exploration.

Gather students back at the campfire. Distribute the Reflection Page and prompt them to draw and label their favorite safari emotion before sharing.

Celebrate their exploration and reinforce the importance of naming emotions to better understand ourselves and others. Collect reflection pages for assessment.
