The 45-minute lesson plan aims to teach 3rd grade students about feelings and emotions. Activities include watching short films and recognizing emotions in music, playing games to match feelings and emotions, discussing feelings toward others, and expressing emotions through drawings and songs. Students will learn to distinguish between emotions, which are momentary expressions, and feelings, which develop over time and summarize multiple emotions. The lesson incorporates worksheets, images, videos and games to help students recognize, describe and reflect on different feelings and emotions.

What kind of feelings do you have for your parents, brothers or sisters?
Or how do you feel about your colleagues and friends?
How about your teachers?

3. Guided learning
- Teacher presents some video recordings and pupils are supposed to recognize emotions given by music through
piano, violin and flute performances.
- What type of emotions do they awake? What’s the difference between emotions and feelings? ( the emotion: an
expression of the moment (an instinctive expression); the feeling: appears in time, sums up a lot of emotions).

At the end of the game the sentence must be translated into English.
