Detective Quest Lesson Plan

Students will become ‘feelings detectives’ by identifying basic emotions and practicing simple regulation strategies through interactive, detective-themed activities over five 30-minute sessions.

Building emotional literacy and self-regulation lays the foundation for positive social interactions, classroom readiness, and overall well-being, especially for early learners.
