Excellerations® How I’m Feeling Today Classroom Set

Ages 3+ / Grades PreK+

Understanding facial expressions is a core component of any child’s social emotional development, and the How I’m Feeling Today Social Emotional Activity from Excellerations® focuses on this ability. With 18 transparent half-face templates and six face-shaped mirrors, children are able to use this activity to identify and express feelings, moods and emotions – whether it’s how they’re feeling in the moment or utilizing a guided lesson plan that focuses on these ideas. Children will learn to recognize the differences in mouth, eye and eyebrow shape and the impact they have on facial expressions with this activity that allows for easy discussion and a relatable lesson.

This activity is especially useful for assisting children with autism, ADHD or special needs as it uses simple features to convey nuanced emotions. Use it in conjunction with a guided lesson plan to teach children language skills or have children recognize how these emotions appear on their own faces with the included mirrors. These relatable faces are great for Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms, as well as homeschooling environments, daycare centers and more. Find a unique way to help children learn to express emotions like happiness, surprise, anger, sadness, fear, joy and excitement.
