Begin large group with this poem:


When I am sad, I want to cry.


When I am proud, I want to fl y.


When I am curious, I want to know.


When I am impatient, I want to go.


When I am bored, I want to play.


When I am happy, I smile all day.


When I am shy, I want to hide.


When I'm depressed, I stay inside.


When I am puzzled, I want to shrug.


When I am loving, I kiss and hug.


On paper strips, write actions such as helping a friend clean up a puzzle and grabbing a book away from a friend. Select one, read it to the group and have the children give a thumbs up for actions that make them happy and a thumbs down for actions that make them sad.
