SEL & Beyond: Self-Awareness “Name That Emotion” Strategy

August 25, 2020
Emotion cards; one asks, "Are you furious?"

NAME THAT EMOTION

Grades K–12
Competencies addressed: Self-Awareness – Self-Management – Relationship Skills

Purpose

One of the first steps to becoming self-aware is being able to identify and understand our emotions. Supporting students to identify and label their emotions allows them the time and space needed to better manage the resulting behavior.

Preparation

  • Have the Emotion Face Card visible for students 
  • Review any new vocabulary

Procedure

Share with students that we know several things about emotions:

  • All emotions are okay
  • Emotions come and go 
  • Sometimes we have more than one
  • They give us important information 

SEL Sentence Frames

*These are suggested sentence frames. Feel free to differentiate for your students’ language proficiency levels.

Grades K–2

“I feel ________.”

“I know I am _____ when my body feels _________.”

Grades 3–5

“Sometimes I feel ________ when __________.”

“I know I am feeling ________ when I _____________.”

Grades 6–12

“I tend to feel ______ when _________.”

“It’s important to label my emotions because ______________.”

Student Reflection 

What did you learn about emotions?

When is it helpful to name your emotions?

What did you like about learning about emotions? 

Opportunities for Differentiation

Support English Language Learners by asking them to label the emotions in their first language. 

Challenge students by using more specific emotion vocabulary. 

Expand the lesson by having students make their own Emotion Face Card.

Gamify the lesson by playing charades with the emotions. 

Integrate the arts by having students draw their emotions. 

Adapt to online format by creating a digital Emotion Face Card.

Teachers’ Lounge

  • We don’t want our students to feel shame around any of their feelings.  
  • All feelings are valid for all students regardless of gender. 
  • Practice, practice, practice. Mastery is achieved through repetition.
