Start by introducing the emotions. In this activity, there are six emotions: surprise, sadness, embarrassment, fear, anger, and happiness. Here, you can explain to the children how an emotion is expressed and how to recognize it. 2. Then, it's time to practice with children. The objective of this activity is for them to be able to identify the emotion explained previously and to associate words with pictures or the descriptions of the emotions to create the connections between words and emotions. 3.

Did the activity feel productive and how did it impact the following days? The goal for the activity is for it to be productive so we want to measure how productive it was by continuing similar activists and methods the next day or days after using the activity to see if it was effective. We can measure its effectiveness by continuing conversations with the children about emotions and word-association and what makes them feels certain way and gather research from the conversations. 3. Finally, would you continue to use the activity or recommend it? As nannies, we are always asking other nannies for more interactive and creactive tools to help the children grow and create their own thoughts or ideas. So if the activity left impressions and was productive, then would you recommend it to others?
