Helping under 5s express their emotions

Outline:

This resource pack has been created to provide young children with visual aids, to enable them to communicate their emotional needs.  These are ideal for pre-school children who are building the emotional vocabulary – so that their needs are met.  Building strong relationships and trust.

Objectives:

• To begin to identify and label emotions
• To begin to communicate emotions through visual aids
• To begin to communicate emotions verbally

How to Use:

• Select the images the child relates to the most and put these up on the wall to make them available to the child at all times.
• Throughout the day – reflect back to the images, pointing to them and mirroring that emotion on your face and through body language.
• Use these cards when reading stories/singing songs (e.g., when you’re happy and you know it …)
• Have a laminated set available at all times (keyring/lanyard) – identify emotions with the child, in different settings/situations.
• In time, as the child becomes more confident in their own emotional needs – they could have a set of these in their pocket.

This Pack Contains the following flashcards:

• 4 x Hungry, Happy, Angry, Sleepy, Thirsty, Sad, Surprised, Playful
