Help children understand and manage strong feelings

This lesson helps children recognise, understand and manage strong emotions. We use our familiar Chameleon children characters to keep discussions and examples at a distance, and we use well-known techniques to explain how feelings can become overwhelming if not managed well. Audio recordings supplement the slide deck, and teacher notes provide lots of additional guidance. We have taken care to keep the advice very general and acknowledge that children with more complex emotional needs will require one-to-one or small group support from a trained specialist. Activities include.

Activity 1 - The six core emotions

Activity 2 - When feelings get too big

Activity 3 - Big feelings scenarios (Audio recordings available)
