Activities To Help Children Understand Their Feelings

A BOX FULL OF FEELINGS A Box Full of Feelings will help children get in touch with their inner world of feelings, recognise emotions in themselves, accept them, name them and have a more differentiated awareness of them. A Box Full of Feelings is built around the four basic feelings of: • Happy • Sad • Angry • Afraid. The Box contains the basic material to get children involved in more than 20 different activities. Gradually children will learn to take perspective of others; to be aware of perceptions and emotions, to feel the impact of their actions and realise that people don't experience events in the same way. Also as the children learn to express feelings in a more appropriate way, their capacity to cope with painful experiences gets stronger, with inner calm and serenity as a result. This is even reflected at group level. The activities can be offered in a flexible way: as guided group activities, as optional activities, as part of a separate area for social-emotional development or occasionally as a response to certain events. The impact of using the box is significant, practitioners' report: How children are more alert to the utterances of feelings How they use a more differentiated vocabulary concerning emotions How their intuitions become more refined How their role-taking capacity expands. The box includes: 48 situational pictures (11 x 11cm) – each basic feeling has 12 pictures, with a short story and questions on the reverse 16 pictures of the emotion figures (11 x 11cm) 4 posters with emotion figures (42 x 29.5cm) 17 finger dolls 4 carry-around houses of emotions 4 masks depicting each feeling for children or adults to wear A wheel of emotions with spinner (for games) CD of emotive music Instruction manual including photocopiable activities Sturdy storage box with carry handle.
