Understanding Emotions

This fantastic new photocopiable activity book is designed to help children to discover, understand and recognise emotions. Some children find these skills very difficult, and because they struggle to read the emotional clues available they may not react appropriately to people or events. Equipping all children with emotional literacy skills enables them to feel more comfortable and confident in social situations and helps them to recognise and modify their own emotional responses. The book progresses from the basic skill of facial expression recognition through to exploring emotions within a variety of situations, understanding how and why emotions can change and predicting emotional responses. Comprehensive teachers notes offer detailed instructions for each activity, prompt questions and further activity ideas. The beautifully illustrated activity sheets are suitable for all ages and include drawing, cut and paste and discussion-based tasks. Contains 48 A4 pages.
