Lesson Plan

Body Clues Guide

Students will describe at least two physical sensations that match each core emotion (happy, sad, excited), building self-awareness of their mind-body connection.

Helping young learners notice how emotions feel in their bodies fosters emotional literacy, supports self-regulation, and strengthens attention to internal cues.
