20 Faces

20 faces all individual, all different, all with different facial expressions. This exercise is great for thinking skills as well as the following…

Potential Learning objectives:

• I can understand how everyone feels different emotions.
• I can understand that we are all different
• I can identify the emotions I have drawn
• I can tell you about a time when I felt each emotion
• I can explain how I might help someone who is experiencing a negative emotion
• I can make each facial expression

Present the sheet to the children and consider some of these suggestions

1. Pupils can give each face a different expression
2. Pupils can colour in the different faces in different colours to represent difference in skin tones.
3. Pupils can see visually how we are all different. Different appearances, different expressions. Discuss difference.
4. Pupils can identify the feelings of each individual face
5. Pupils can talk about a time when they might have felt this emotion
6. Pupils can explain how they would help each face showing a negative emotion
7. Pupils can use a mirror to make each expression themselves.
8. Pupils can fill this in over a few sessions as a warm up. One face at a time.
9. Pupils could choose one of the faces and draw the body language to match
10. Pupils could choose one of the faces, draw the body and draw a thinking bubble. What might that person be thinking?
