Family and Emotions Crafts,Feelings Preschool Activities, Crafts, Games, Lessons, and Printables
New November 2011: Family and Emotions Preschool Activities, Family and Emotions Crafts. This month's theme explores two subjects close to children's hearts: their families and their emotions. Children participate in literacy activities that help them build vocabulary and word recognition skills around topics that relate directly to their daily lives and experiences. They explore what it means to be a family and have feelings via movement, singing, drawing, writing, matching, talking, and listening. Mathematical concept activities are also included. Samples of our more than 90 family and emotions crafts, activities, crafts, games, songs, rhymes, coloring pages, and printables.

If You're Happy and You Know It Rhyme and Activity (Gross Motor Skills)
If You're Happy and You Know It
Adaptation from Original by Author Unknown
If you're happy and you know it, show a smile.
If you're happy and you know it, show a smile.
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it, show a smile.
Continue with additional verses for other emotions:
If you're mad and you know it, stomp your feet.
If you're surprised and you know it, say "OH MY."
If you're sad and you know it, cry BOO-HOO.
If you're silly and you know it, make a face.
If you're scared and you know it, shiver and shake.
Finish the song with: If you're happy and you know it, shout HURRAY!

One family recipe from each child (not too complex)
Paper
Stapler
Crayons

What you do:
Have each child bring in a special family recipe and briefly share why the recipe is special to him/her. Type up the recipes (or ask a parent volunteer to help with this job) and make space at the top, bottom, or sides of each page for drawings. Give children time to draw pictures or borders for their family recipes. Make one copy of each recipe for each child and staple them together with a cover titled “Our Family Recipes.” Let children take the cookbooks home to share with their families.
