Lesson Plan

Colorful Emotions Lesson Plan

Students will learn to link basic emotions (happy, sad, angry, calm) with colors and will express their current feelings by creating a color-based drawing to build emotional vocabulary and self-awareness.

Understanding the connection between colors and emotions promotes emotional literacy, self-expression, and empathy in young learners, laying a foundation for healthy social–emotional development.
