Guidance Module/Writing Activity

Feelings Circle

I AM able to acknowledge and express my feelings


(Safety, Self-awareness, Self-expression)

Learners are invited to reflect on how feelings can exist simultaneously and deepen their self-
awareness.

Time Allotment: 50 minutes

Materials: Paper, crayons and/or pentel pen

Ask learners if they have ever felt more than one feeling at once. Share with them that this is normal,
especially in the time of COVID-19.

To deal with hard feelings, tell them that it’s helpful to stop from time to time, and try to understand
which are the different feelings they are experiencing.

Directions:

1. On a sheet of paper, ask learners to think of the different feelings they have at this moment. Ask
them to take a sheet of paper and divide it in half. On the left side, ask them to write down all
the feelings they feel in the moment and assign a color for each.
2. On the right sheet of the same paper ask learners to create a circle. If learners have not been
introduced to circular charts, you can introduce the activity by saying “Now we are making a
feelings wheel and we will divide the wheel according to how much you feel each feeling you’ve
written down today. “
3. Ask learners to divide the wheel according to “percentages” or to the size of each feeling they
are experiencing at the moment.
4. When the learners are done, the teacher can invite them to sit in a circle in groups of 4, or to
share their Feelings Wheel in the larger group. The teacher can invite volunteers to start.

Discussion Guide:

1. Who would like to share their Feelings Wheel?


2. What would you like to say about your Feelings Wheel?
3. What did you discover about yourself as you were making it or as you look at the chart now?
4. What did you learn about yourself?

Note:

Share with your learners that they can use this at different points in their week, or month as a check-in,
and that it will most likely change and look a little different each time.

Discuss how it’s important to identify their feelings in order to deal with them.

Sharing their story with a trusted friend or adult, singing a song, taking a walk, taking a nap, exercising,
are among many different ways to help them feel better about difficult feelings.
It is important to share the more uplifting feelings as well; it’s one way to support others and build
friendships.

day-of-school/

SPIDER WEB
This one is so much fun! You will need a ball of string or yarn, any color will do. Have
students sit in a circle, either on the carpet or in chairs. This game can also be played
outside.

Start with yourself. Say your name and one thing about yourself. Then choose another
student who is across the circle and roll or hand the ball to that student. That student
says his name and one thing about himself. Play continues until all students have gotten
a turn and there is a web of string crisscrossing the circle.

Reflect on how each person is part of the web, which represents the classroom, that
you are all holding a piece of the classroom and without that piece, the classroom
wouldn’t be complete. When you are finished with the reflection, have one student let go
of their string to demonstrate what happens if one person isn’t included in the web.  It
collapses.  We don’t want our web (or classroom) to collapse!

You can make the game more simple where students just choose the next student or
more complicated, where students have to tell one thing about themselves, like their
favorite food or something. Either way, it’s a fun game that shows the inclusion of all
students.

GRAFFITI
This is one of my favorite cooperative learning activities, especially for older students. In
this activity, I create six pieces of chart paper with one statement on each piece of
paper. I group students and give each student a marker. Students rotate through the
pieces of chart paper responding to the prompt on the paper. Each student has to write
something since each student is holding a marker. At the beginning of the year, I make
the statements more low-key, but as the year progresses, I increase the complexity of
the statements, even using academic questions to review content.

Here are some suggestions for topics at the beginning of the year:

 Favorite moment
 What I wonder about
 What I want to be when I grow up and why
 Things that scare me
 Things that get me excited
 What I like about school
 What I dislike about school
 Things people do that annoy me
 Things that people do that I like
 I feel sad when
