Is everybody happy?

Activities:

Make a class book called "Things to Be Happy About."
Each child contributes a page by drawing and writing about things that make them happy.
Make a "Big Book of Feelings" by cutting poster board into 12" x 14" pieces.
Cut a 7" circle out of the middle of each page.
Write a different emotion on each page, such as "happy," "sad," "angry," "proud," etc.
Children hold up the book and insert their face through the circle making the appropriate facial expression.
Discuss what makes you feel different ways.
"What can you do if you are angry?"
"What can you do if you are scared?"
