Instructional Ideas
- Randomly assign an emotion to each participant, after they've drawn their monster face, challenge the class to guess the emotion by looking at its features
- Copy cards onto cardstock, then laminate them, direct pupils to draw using a dry-erase marker for easy cleaning and continued use
- As a reference tool while they draw, invite learners to look at a mirror, and make faces to get an up-close look at their expressions
Classroom Considerations
- Pupils should be familiar with the list of emotions
- Requires copies—three pages, front and back
Pros
- Strengthens social-emotional development, particularly self-awareness
- Encourages class members to examine a wide range of emotions
