Welcome students. Introduce the purpose of today’s session: learning to name and share emotions clearly and practice creating “I feel … when …” statements. Emphasize that this is a safe, confidential space where everyone’s contribution matters.

Explain that talking about feelings helps us understand ourselves and others, prevents misunderstandings, and builds stronger relationships.

Activate prior knowledge. Invite students to shout out feeling words as you display the slide. Write additional words on chart paper if needed.

Pair students up. Ask each pair to list three situations where someone might feel one of the words on the slide. After 2–3 minutes, invite a few pairs to share.

Introduce the formula and model creating a statement on the board. Explain that this structure helps others understand exactly how we feel and why.

Show students how to vary emotions and situations. Encourage complete sentences with specific details.

Give students 3 minutes to write their own “I feel … when …” statement. Circulate and provide support. Invite 2–3 volunteers to share aloud.

Explain that boundaries are ways to let others know how we want to be treated. Stress that clear boundaries help keep relationships healthy.

Wrap up the slide deck. Encourage students to use these tools in real life. Prepare to transition to the next activity in the lesson plan.
