A lesson linked to Ourselves, All about me, Feelings and Resilience. An original story I wrote for young children to help them to talk about their feelings and gain some coping strategies when they have troubles. The story finds Betty with worries which she can’t explain. She gets a bee in her bonnet, a butterfly in her tummy and a worm in her ear. Her best friend comes to her rescue and explains to Betty that we all have worry bugs now and again and comes up with a plan… Share the story on the whiteboard or print off and share as a book. Following the story, children can complete the comprehension question sheet, sequence the story and name and write about the bugs. This story sparks lots of speaking and listening and helps children to communicate their worries and identify bodily feelings that go with certain emotions.
