Step by step
* Make a collection of pictures cut from magazines, advertisements and so on, showing people expressing as many different emotions as you can find.
* Discuss with the children any feelings which are familiar to them. Include happy, sad, worried, angry, scared, loving, tired, surprised, mad.
* Ask the children to draw a picture of a face on a piece of plain paper which expresses one of the feelings they have talked about. Try to have drawings showing ten different emotions and label them accordingly.
* Make a copy of each face if you have a photocopier, or trace the face to make a copy. Out out the faces.
* Take one copy of each face and glue it on to the front of a large envelope.
* Let the children place the matching face inside the correct envelope. Encourage the children to be dramatic and make the appropriate face themselves as they do so.
