There is everything you need to create an ‘Emotion Potion Display’. You can print the potion bottles on A4 or A3 depending on how big you want them to be. There is lettering or a banner depending on how you like to do your displays. The droplets come in different colours and black and white. Included in the pack: 20 emotions on coloured potion bottles – fordisplay 20 emotion potion worksheets in colour – for children 20 emotion potion worksheets in black and white – for children A range of droplets to cut out – for display A banner – for display Display lettering – for display Ideas on how to use this display Have an emotion of the week. Print and cut out the appropriate potion bottle and put that on the wall. Sit the children in a circle and give them a prompt such as: What triggers this emotion? So you are looking for anything that causes this emotion. For anger it might be ‘someone calling you a name’ for jealousy it might be ‘someone getting a new pair of trainers’, and so on. What physical effects does this emotion cause? So you are looking for any physical effects linking to that emotion. For anger it might be ‘fast heartbeat’, for anxiety it might be ‘trembling or shaking’ and so on. What might you be thinking when you feel this emotion? So you are looking for thoughts associated with this emotion. So for anger it might be ‘He is looking at me in a funny way!’ and for sadness it might be ‘I have no friends’. And so on. What coping strategies do you have when you feel this emotion? So you are looking for anything that helps a child cope with this emotion. Obviously this is more linked to the negative emotions. For anger it might be ‘Do my breathing exercises’, for sadness it might be ‘go and talk to an adult’. What other words do you know that mean the same or similar to this emotion? So for anger you are looking for words such as ‘mad, irate, furious, livid’, and so on. When you have discussed this in detail during circle time you can then give them the worksheet to match the one on display. Use their ideas to create your display on the wall. Cut out the appropriate sized droplet and write in black marker. Stick this above the potion bottle to look like it is falling into the bottle or you could have them going the other way to show they are coming out of the bottle. Entirely your choice. Repeat this in the next session with another emotion. You can obviously use this pack anyway you like and the ideas are endless. You could print out all the emotion potion bottles and make a display with all of them.

The Cool it game - is a game about managing anger. The game will promote discussion on anger management and the recognition of anger. Anger affirmations are used along with cool it cards which give lots of ideas for calming down. The game could be played on a one to one basis or a group basis. My suggestion is no more than four children. To make the game Photocopy or print the game board onto A3 paper then laminate Print all the cards, laminate and cut into separate cards Print the ‘my choices board with either the 3 boxes or 6 boxes’ depending on the children you are working with (one for each child) The game consists of: 40 Affirmation cards 40 Cool it cards 2 types My choices board A game board You will also need counters, dry wipe pens and a die to play. How to play Choose the person to go first by each throwing the die and the highest number thrown goes first. Go clockwise from that person. The first person throws the die and moves their counter that number of spaces. They must answer the question they land on; however, if they land on affirmation then they must read this out to the rest of the group. Ask the child if they agree with the statement. They may or may not. If they land on a ‘cool it ’ they must read it out and explain what it means. If they cannot explain it then ask if anyone else can help? If they think they would like to try this ‘cool it’ they can write it on their ‘My choices board’. The aim is for each child to have either 3 or 6 choices to try when they start to become angry. Continue going round the board until each child has filled their board with ideas. There isn’t a winner as such with this game as the aim is for the children to learn about their anger You can photocopy the ‘My choices’ card at the end of the session for the child to take away.

This resource consists of: 104 cards 1 game board 5 worksheets Children will learn that it is ok to say what they like or what they dislike. They will also understand that everyone has different likes and dislikes. Teach diversity.

Children can have lots of fun whilst learning about emotions with this fun activity. There are base boards for - pumpkin, witch, dracula, frankenstein and a ghost. There are emotion faces for 15 emotions and 15 emotion vocabulary cards.

This game looks at 16 different emotions including the basics of of happy, sad, angry, scared, surprised and disgusted. It is ideal for children from about 5 years old. My recommendation is that it is played with one or two children due to the space needed. Children take it in turns to throw a die and move that number of spaces on the base board. They will either land on a head, tummy or bottom. They take one of those cards and name the emotion. If it is a head they are seeing the facial expression. If it is a tummy they are seeing what someone might say who is feeling that emotion and if it is a bottom they are seeing the emotion word. The idea of the game is to build a complete monster.

This workbook can be made up to suit the child. Work on families can be very useful as it helps children to understand their identity and helping them to see the support network around them.

If you require any more family members then please comment below and I can add them to the pack.

Each child is given a Bingo base board and a set of counters. Cut up the word cards and read out the ‘I can’ statement. The child looks for that statement on their board and covers it with a counter. Continue until someone has a straight line horizontally, vertically or diagonally. There is also a board for children to choose 3 ideas that they will try to help them relax and be more mindful. There is a set of image cards, image cards plus I can statement to print off and the child can stick them to their base board to take away at the end of the session.

This ‘Feelings First game’ will help children to learn lots about emotions and will be great fun too. Children will be making facial expressions, acting out body language and using their thinking skills. There is also an element of maths in the game because they need to be able to work out who has the highest number. Also lots of calculating to do at the end. Might be a good idea to have a calculator handy.
