4. CALMING DOWN CORNER
• This is a technique used with children from 3 to 5 and it`s very
simple.
• It consists in letting the children to go to this corner when they have
something to express.
• Once there, children have two options; to choose one of the three
faces that are glued in the corner or pick the bottle they need.

5. COLOURED FEELINGS
• This activity is designed to do as a ritual exercise every day
• In infant school, normally, all children who come to class have to
take their name card and move it to a special place.
• What children have to do is: select a colour when they arrive to
school and put the sticker they selected near to their card.
HAPPY SAD ANGRY

6. MESSAGE CARDS
• This practice is designed to be used from third of primary on
• For that, each student and the teacher also, will have two types of
cards. Some will be red and the others any colour we prefer.
• Red cards will be used to express negative feelings or things that
we didn’t like and the others can be used to express whatever we
want

7. FEELING FACES
• This is an exercise to work feeling expressions in Primary school.
• For that, we are going to use expression faces and it is necessary for
each child to have the three faces in his/her desk.
• They will have to value their feeling three times per day (during the
morning, after the break and after lunch).

8. NUMBERING FEELINGS
• This is a method created by Steve Reifmand
• Children express how
they feel using numbers
from one to ten
(one being not good
and ten being great)
• For this exercise, it is interesting
all the children to be sitting in a circle.

17. SOME POEMS
Ordu gozoak
ordu garratzak
denetik du bizitzak.
Baina gaur tori loreak
eta utzi arantzak
Bizitza, diote,
Lau egun besterik ez direla
Eta nik diot,
Lautik hirutan euria izaten dela
Ez zaitzala aterkirik gabe
harrapatu bizitzak.
Bestela….
ILUNORDUAK ETA ARGILAURDENAK,
Joxantonio Ormazabal
