Lesson 7: Understanding More Feelings

Why This Lesson Matters

In Lesson 6, students were introduced to identifying emotions based on visual clues. Another important part of empathy is to understand typical causes of emotions. Most five- and six-year-olds can explain the causes of their own and others’ emotions.

Objectives

Students will be able to:

• Name interested and afraid/scared when presented with physical and situational clues

• Identify that interested is a comfortable feeling and scared is an uncomfortable one

• Identify a variety of feelings displayed in response to scenarios

Lesson Concepts

Situational clues can help you identify others’ feelings.
