Lesson Plan

Identifying Emotions Lesson Plan

Students will practice identifying and naming a range of emotions by matching feeling words to facial expressions and real-life scenarios, then reflect on their own emotional experiences.

Building emotional awareness helps students recognize and manage their feelings, supports self-regulation, and strengthens social-emotional skills essential for positive peer interactions and learning readiness.
