Warm up activity before Life skill Class

How Do You Feel?

Objective: warm-up ice-breaker, learn about emotions, improve emotional lexicon, enhancing peer understanding

Description: (5 minutes) this ice-breaker can be used as a ritual/repeating activity at the start of every class or life skills session to help children express their emotions.

Students stand in a circle and one-by-one reveal how they feel…..in one word at that very moment.

It is important to establish consistency and have a regular activity, this enables the students to get familiar with the activity and in turn become successful at doing it.

This also gives the teacher an idea of what to expect from the student’s behaviour/ attitude in class that day.
