Which emotions are you going to use on your emotion masks? 

Instructions:

1. Provide construction paper (or paper plates) to each child and ask them to create a mouth that represents a specific emotion from the Feelings Faces Poster.

2. When the mask is ready, paste a popsicle stick to the back to hold the mask.

3. Encourage them to act out the emotion to a friend or group using the mask! Remind them to match their eyes to the mask’s emotion. 

4. Switch masks with a friend! And repeat the procedure. 

5. Notice that their friends may respond differently to the same situations.
