Lesson Plan

Mirror My Mood Lesson Plan

Students will recognize and label four basic emotions—happy, sad, mad, scared—by observing their own and peers’ facial expressions using mirrors.

Developing emotion vocabulary and self-awareness in Pre-K lays the foundation for healthy social skills, empathy, and emotional regulation.
