Step by step

  1. Print 4 to 6 large face cards (happy, angry, sad, surprised) and sit near a mirror if possible.
  2. Look at the cards together first and name each feeling using simple words ('look, he's angry').
  3. Take turns picking a card and naming the emotion. If your child keeps picking the same one, just roll with it—having fun is what counts.
  4. Make the face together in front of the mirror. Exaggerate and laugh: the sillier and more dramatic, the better.
  5. 'When do you make that face?'. Share your own grown-up examples too ('I feel angry when...').
  6. Later in the day, bring up the cards when feelings flare ('You're making the angry card face, want to tell me about it?').
