What Can You Do If You Are Feeling Sad or Worried?

Super Mood Movers - Coping with feelings - BBC Teach

Feelings Check-in

Show children emotion cards with different facial expressions.


Ask:

  • How do you think this person is feeling?
  • Have you ever felt sad?
  • Have you ever felt worried?

Explain: Everyone has feelings. Sometimes we feel happy, and sometimes we feel sad or worried. These feelings are normal, and there are things we can do to help ourselves.
