You will need paper plates, markers, and mirrors for this small group activity. Have the children look in mirrors and draw a variety of facial expressions on paper plates based on what they see. Then have the children mimic the emotion and talk about what could happen to make someone feel that emotion. Afterward, put the paper plates out during centers. Show the children how to look at themselves in the mirror holding up the paper plate face and draw what they see on a dry erase board.
