Included in this lesson is 12 face pictures, 24 emotion cards, a crossword puzzle and a word search puzzle.

Teaching ideas: Put students in pairs. Print enough copies of the face pictures and emotion cards for each pair of students to have one sheet of face pictures and one set of emotion cards. Cut out the emotion cards and make sure you have enough sets before class. Before distributing the materials to the students, ask them to brain storm for 5 minutes. Their goal is to make a list of as many words that describe emotions as possible. After they have made their list, solicit words from the students and write them on the board. After writing 5 or 6 emotion words on the board, point to one of the words and ask the following question: If a person feels (emotion word) can you tell by looking at him or her? If the students answer Yes, ask if someone can demonstrate. Repeat this step with three or four words. Next, distribute the face pictures. Tell the students that the face pictures are pictures of emotions. Tell them to write an emotion word under each picture that accurately describes the emotion of face picture. There may be more than one face picture that can be described using the same emotion word, and not all students will agree on what emotion word should be used for some of the face pictures, but that is part of the fun of this exercise. The teacher should walk around the classroom and offer suggestions when needed. After the students have had enough time to complete the face pictures exercise, the teacher should solicit responses from the students and see how many students used the emotion words for the same face pictures. Next, distribute one set of emotion cards to each pair of students. Student A will then draw a card from the top of the stack and ask student B to describe a time when he or she has felt the emotion on the card. Teacher should walk around the classroom and offer assistance when needed.
