- Curriculum Extension Activities
- Describe times when children have had feelings similar to the scary feelings described in the story. Have them identify additional feelings they may have experienced. List these feelings.
- Play a name game in which a child makes a facial expression to pantomime a feeling, and the other children guess what feeling is being imitated.
- Have the children make a book about feelings. On each page, they should write a word that names a feeling. Then they should describe a time they had that feeling.
- After talking about feelings, have the children cut out pictures from magazines in which people show various feelings. Glue these under categories such as happy, sad, mad, worried, etc.
