understand which are the different feelings they are experiencing.
Procedure:
1. On a sheet of paper, ask learners to think of the different feelings they have at this moment.
Ask them to take a sheet of paper and divide it in half. On the left side, ask them to
write down all the feelings they feel in the moment and assign a color for each.
2. On the right sheet of the same paper, ask learners to create a circle. If learners have not been
introduced to circular charts, you can introduce the activity by saying “Now we are making a
feelings wheel and we will divide the wheel according to how much you feel each feeling
you’ve written down today”
3. Ask learners to divide the wheel according to “percentages” or to the size of each feeling
they are experiencing at the moment.
When the learners are done, the teacher can invite them to sit in a circle in groups of
four (considering physical distancing) to share their Feelings Wheel.
Discussion Guide:
- Who would like to share their Feelings Wheel?
-What would you like to say about your Feelings Wheel?

mere presence, or letting them know that you are there as a friend.
