The teacher will show the children the emotions' dolls we have in the classroom, and they can show children different kind of feelings that people can feel. These dolls will help children identify the different emotions or feelings people can feels, and they will help children to demonstrate the way they feel now, then the teacher will ask How do you feel now? Then children will show the teacher the doll they feel identified with.
