Feelings Calender
How do you feel today?
First, get a pencil, 5 coloured pens and a ruler. Don't forget you need a piece of paper.
Get your pencil, and write, This month at the top of the paper.
Write up to 31 on the piece of paper split into 6 or 7 columns.
With a ruler, make square boxes around all of the numbers to make it look like a calendar.
With all of the pens, draw circles at the top right of where it says this month. Write 5 emotions lined up with each circle and draw lines with a ruler to make lines from the circle to the emotion.
To use it, for example, if it was the 1st of august, and you were feeling happy, you would scribble number 1 with the colour you set happy to and the same with every other date. If it has been a month and it was all fill, You could make it again. But maybe, you could make 12 of them and stick them together to make a yearly calendar. Why not discuss with your grown-up what you have put on your calendar and maybe they could add their feelings too.
Previous Tasks
There is never a silly emotion, it's OK to feel however you feel.
This chart is a good way of expressing how you feel and maybe
share it with your grown-up and ask them how they feel today
too. It's good to talk about our feelings instead of hiding them
away.
Step 1
Get a piece of paper followed by a bit of blue tack, tape, scissors and a pen, crayon or pencil.
Step 2
Draw a rectangle in the middle of the piece of paper with a line in the middle.
Step 3
Split the top and bottom row into three groups.
Step 4
Draw six types of emotions.(for example a happy face, sad face or excited).
Step 5
Cut them out in one bit.
Step 6
Now on the remaining paper, write 'I am' and draw a rectangle around it...
Step 7
...and cut it out.
Step 8
Put a bit of blue tack on the back of the rectangle that you just cut out.
And there you have it. Your own emotion chart.
Hang it up if you want too.
Mindfulness colouring
Colouring is great for both children and
adults who are looking for a calm moment.
Mindful colouring helps us bring our awareness
to the present moment. Whilst colouring, you use
the parts of your brain that enhance focus and
concentration. It gives you the opportunity to
disconnect from stressful thoughts.
Step 1
Get a blank piece of paper.
Step 2
Get yellow, blue and red crayons/pens/pencils.
Step 3
With the colour yellow, draw 10 yellow circles (Medium size).
Step 4
With the colour blue, draw 10 more circles (bit smaller).
Step 5
With the colour red, add 10 more red dots.
Step 6
Use a mixture of colours to create lines anywhere.
Now you have finished your very own mindful art work. WELL DONE!
Step 1
First, get a clear jar (like a Mason jar) and
fill it almost all the way with water.
Step 2
Add glitter to the jar and give it a mix
Step 3
“Imagine that the glitter is like your
thoughts when you’re stressed,
mad or upset. See how they whirl
around and make it really hard
to see clearly? That’s why
sometimes it can feel like
you're not in control and it can
seem scary – because you’re not
thinking clearly. Don’t worry this is
normal and it happens to all of us
(yep, grownups too).
Step 4
Now put the jar down and keep it still.
Now watch what happens when you’re
still for a couple of moments. Keep watching.
See how the glitter starts to settle
and the water clears? Your mind works the same way.
When you’re calm for a little while, your thoughts
start to settle and you start to see things much clearer.
Breathing exercises during this calming process
can help us settle when we feel a lot of emotions
