Emotions Mat

How are you feeling today?

On my way back home from school, I stumbled upon a young child who was crying inconsolably due to hunger. I had some biscuits in my bag and gave them to the child to ease their discomfort. When I arrived home, my brother was beaming with joy as he had secured the first position in his class. He was so happy that he invited his friends from the neighborhood to celebrate with him. I shared the story of the distressed child with my mother, who was pleased to hear that I had helped the child and brought a smile to their face.

My mother then asked me if I knew about the different types of emotions and suggested playing with Musky to learn more about them. As we played together with Musky, I gained knowledge about the many different types of emotions we experience in our lives.
