Over the past few weeks, the influx of information about the coronavirus and the lockdown applied in many countries have taken us through a wide range of emotions. Many people describe this period as a ‘roller coaster’ with a mix of positive and negative feelings. To find a balance and to re-focus our energies on positive feelings, it is important that we begin by acknowledging where we are. We can then begin to shift our attention to feelings that help us cope with the situation.
Our children also experience intense feelings in their households but may not have the language to talk about them or the opportunity to explore these. For this reason, we share with you an activity that helps children explore the language of their feelings by drawing on all the resources they have at hand. Feel free to adapt this activity to your context and remember to encourage language learners to explore their feelings in a safe and comfortable way.
