Activity/strategy name and materials required	How to do the activity	Key principles for doing the activity and comments
How would you feel if?: - Pictures/photos of different emotions - a printable set of emotion cards are available here. - Situation cards - click here to print.	1. Print and cut out the resources. 2. Introduce the activity by having a quick discussion of how it's fine if different people feel differently about the same situation. 3. Take turns to choose a situation card and discuss it together. See if you can match how you would feel to the emotions symbols or pictures. 4. Some children may be able to explain why they'd feel that way e.g. "I'd be scared if I saw a spider because I don't like them'.	Reinforce the idea that there's no 'right' answer.
