19. ACTIVITY
DESCRIPTION
This activity will allow learners to experience the connection between
their mind and body, learn how their mind affects their physical well-
being, and identify where they hold these feelings in their bodies. This
awareness is the foundation for learning self-regulation.
RECOVERY OBJECTIVE
Develop body awareness; practice self expression and self-regulation
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Practice fine and gross motor skills; practice visual-spatial, language, analytical,
and problem-solving skills
20. Ask the learner to create a body
outline on their sheet of paper - 1
outline for the front part of the body,
another outline for the back part of
the body (depending on the size of
the paper, you may place the two
outlines side-by-side or back-to-
back)
21. Ask the learners to map out in their body map with
coloring materials where in their bodies they feel the
following emotions:
1. Where do you feel HAPPINESS or JOY in your
body?
2. Where do you feel SADNESS in your body?
Where do you feel ANGER in your body?
3. Where do you feel FEAR in your body?
4. Where do you feel COURAGE in your body?
5. Where do you feel LOVE in your body?

body maps any way they want.

25. Our mind and body are connected. Our feeling
manifest in our bodies. How we express these
feelings is something we can learn about. Although it
takes time to learn how to navigate through our
emotions, being curious about our difficult emotions
and trusting that they will pass is a healthy way to
deal with difficult emotions. When we learn about
them, we grow our ability to self-regulate and learn
that there are many ways to do so. Self-regulation is
the ability to manage one’s emotions.
KEY MESSAGE
Editor's Notes
This activity will help you to identify your feelings, express them through art, and discover that people can experience more than one feeling at a time.
we are exploring our feelings for today. Sometimes, when we pay close attention to ourselves and give time to actually check in with how we are feeling, we
might notice that we have more than one feeling at a time. Share with them that this is normal, especially in the time of a pandemic or disaster, and other transitions we might be going through.
During this time, they are free to explore these feelings. Remind the learners that there are no right or wrong emotions and that paying attention to how we feel can give us
information about ourselves and how we can handle situations.
