Mood Mapping Lesson Plan

Students will identify and name their current emotions by selecting an emoji that matches their feeling and color‐coding a personal feelings chart, building emotional vocabulary and self‐awareness.

Recognizing and labeling emotions supports self‐regulation, classroom well‐being, and lays the foundation for further social–emotional learning. This lesson empowers students to articulate feelings and develop emotional intelligence.
