My body has a Feeling
(Kings
Meadow School (2005) Primary Behaviour Curriculum, Kings Meadow School,
Northampton)
This
game is a fun game that helps develop emotional literacy. It is suitable for children aged 4 – 10 years
old.
The children are spread out around the
room and one child is chosen as the lead player.
The group chant:
My body has a feeling
Right inside of me
I’ll show you as I walk
Look closely now and see.
The lead player ‘walks’ the emotion and everyone copies.
Others are subsequently chosen, and the chant is repeated.
