Lesson Plan

Happiness Hunt Outline

Students will identify sources of personal joy by exploring happy images, hunting for “happy” objects in the room, drawing their own happy moments, and sharing with peers.

This lesson builds emotional awareness and a positive classroom culture by helping kindergarteners recognize, articulate, and celebrate what makes them happy.
