Introduction
This is a running game to help Ladybirds to identify what makes them happy or sad.
Instructions
1. Ask the Ladybirds to shout out the names of emotions that they know.
2. Draw a happy face on one poster and a sad face on the other.
3. Divide the Ladybirds into two groups and ask them to colour in and decorate the faces.
4. Hang one poster at either end of the hall.
5. Call out various statements and ask the Ladybirds to run to the appropriate face e.g. I got a new puppy; I couldn’t go to my friend’s birthday party.
6. You can split the group by calling out statements such as “all the blonde Ladybirds will get ice-cream”.
Discussion
Talk about what to do if you’re sad/angry etc. All feelings are ok. There are no good or bad feelings. It's what people do with their feelings that's important. If people are feeling sad/mad, there are lots of things they can do to help those feelings - breathe slowly in and out, colouring or drawing, going for a walk, punching a pillow, dancing it out, talking to an adult. It is really important that we don't do anything that will hurt ourselves or others.
