This video introduces children to a simple three-step practice: I notice, I feel, I can. It encourages them to pause, pay attention to what is happening around them, name their emotions, and think about healthy choices they can make. A wonderful tool to build emotional awareness, self-regulation, and resilience in everyday life.

This playful clip from Inside Out invites children to identify and name emotions through fun guessing. It's a lighthearted, relatable way to spark conversations about how feelings look and feel—and helps both children and caregivers connect, one emotion at a time.

“Can you act out ‘excited’? What about ‘worried’?”
In this game, students take turns acting out different emotions without using words, and others guess the feeling.

🧠 What it builds:

• Emotion recognition

• Non-verbal cues (facial expressions, body language)

• Empathy and perspective-taking

👨‍👩‍👧 At home or school:

• Write emotion words on cards (e.g., happy, nervous, proud, tired)

• One child picks a card and acts it out

• Others guess the feeling and share a time they’ve felt that way

“What feelings can you find in these pictures?”
Students look through magazines or printed pictures of people (or use provided photo sheets) and try to spot and label different emotions shown in the faces or body language.

🧠 What it builds:

• Emotional vocabulary

• Observation skills

• Awareness of how feelings look on the outside

🎨 How to do it:

• Cut out pictures of people showing different emotions

• Glue them onto a poster or worksheet

• Label each picture with the feeling

• Optional: Add speech bubbles or thought bubbles (“I think this person feels…”)
