Feelings Chatterbox
These chatterboxes are a terrific speaking and listening activity that can be used with a teacher, adult or older partner to help younger students discuss their feelings and how they arise in different situations. There are 3 options available.
They can also be sent home for students to use with parents.
Students colour in and fold the templates. Use as a speaking and listening activity in combination with Emotions lessons.
