Teaching the recognition of emotions is standard practice for both teachers and speech and language therapists. Our popular Emotions and Facial Expressions pack provides a set of resources for therapists and teachers, suitable for children at KS1 and above, which can be used to supplement therapy and teaching sessions. It may prove useful in both school and home programmes.
The resources help to raise children’s awareness and recognition of emotions in themselves and others and to recognise how situations affect people differently. Particularly useful for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
For more information see below.
Therapists and teachers working with children who have social, emotional and behavioural difficulties, and/or autistic spectrum disorders, use a range of strategies to teach the facial expressions of others, and the emotional states that these tend to imply. It is important that children learn to recognise, name and deal with their emotions in a positive way and to thus develop good relationships, respecting the differences between people.
Master cards depict a variety of emotions (happy, sad, cross, bored, scared, worried, excited, OK) and for each emotion there is an associated set of scenarios which might generate that feeling. For example:
Cross Scenarios
Instructions for use are included along with ideas for extension activities. Older children can be encouraged to think of different words (synonyms of the main term) and phrases which they might use to fit the emotions pictured in the pack. The materials in the pack can help highlight to children that people sometimes feel differently about the same thing.
