Goal» Review the sad feeling words

Activity1. Ask, “What are some sad feelings we sometimes have?” If kids have trouble

naming the feelings, offer some suggestions. Then ask, “Who are some people who care about us and can help us feel better when we have sad feelings?”

2. Encourage children to name people who can help when sad feelings arise.

3. During lineup time and at other transitions during the day, tell children about a Sesame Street friend who is feeling sad. You can say, “Elmo is feeling sad because he does not have anyone to play with at school. Who can help him feel better?” or “Zoe is feeling sad because her dance teacher is away on vacation. Who can help her feel better?”

4. As each child lines up, have him mention someone who can help.

Children will review sad words with a lineup game.
