Paperback Book + Feelings Why/How/What Pack + Lego Building Pack.
This bumper pack uses Lego building to extend the work on expressing feelings. The different colour monsters can be tied in with the story book: there is a mixed up monster that is a lot bigger than the single colour monsters, and who looks confused, a blue monster with sad
eyes, a red/orange monster with angry
eyes, and a brown/black monster, a pink monster and a green monster that can represent scared
, loving
and calm
. The children can also use any/all of the bricks to represent how they feel and put a name on it.
Feelings Pack:
This pack includes the paperback book, 4 x A5 Lotto Boards and 1 x A4 Lotto Board with matching pictures to help children answer How
they feel, Why
they feel …, What Do
they do when they feel… and What Can
they do when they feel…, and a dry wipe pen with blank squares.
The paperback book measures approximately 24cm x 24cm and has 19 double pages telling the simple story of a mixed up monster and a girl who helps him separate out all his feelings by colour.
The visual resources use the colours as a starting point but aim to help children answer the important questions about their feelings, using simple lotto pictures as examples and blank squares for you/them to write or draw their own specific responses.
Recommended for children in Key Stage 1 with delayed language, children with autism, and children learning English.
