Description
Emotions can be very complicated and lots of different things play a part how we feel. Having a better understanding of the things that might affect our emotions helps us to understand ourselves and our emotions better. When we know the things that contribute to difficult feelings, we can try to think of ways to regulate our emotions before they become unmanageable. When we recognise the things that contribute to pleasant feelings, we can try to do those things more.
This activity supports children and young people to really think about how they felt at a specific time and the different things that contributed to that feeling. Emotion sandwiches can be made anytime a child or young person experiences a difficult emotion or a challenging situation. They can also make an emotion sandwich when they’ve had a really great experience and enjoyed themselves.
The pack includes:
• 7 x full colour, laminated sandwich pieces
• a mini dry-wipe pen
• an 18-page document of guidance for completing the activity
Postage is included.
