Activity/strategy name and materials required	How to do the activity	Key principles for doing the activity and comments
Emotions picture cards Picture cards with emotions Optional - choice of pictures showing possible reasons - for example a picture of a boy who has fallen over to go with a picture of a boy who is crying.	Look at an emotion picture card - discuss what is happening, for example, "Look... the boy is crying."; Ask 'Why is he crying?' and give a model answer for example "because he is sad", "because he fell over".
Why is it.... One or more pictures showing scenes - for example someone running away, a hot beach. Or... Pictures in a book.	Take it in turns to turn over the picture cards or to turn a page in the book and talk about the reasons for what is happening. E.g. "Why is he happy?", "Why is it hot?", "Why is she running?".
A desirable and a non-desirable toy Two toys one desirable and one not.	Offer a choice of 2 toys - one the child likes and one that you think he/she will not like. When the child takes a toy say "Why do you want this one?" Give a model answer if needed e.g. 'because I like it' or 'Its mine'.
