Feelings is an English- language project, which helps the students to get more aware of their feelings, while concentrating on them and
observing themselves. Students get more open and improve their ability to share feelings with friends, other students and teachers. They learn
new words, using the dictionary and improve their writing skills and also vocabulary.
Introduction
The project Feelings was created for students at the age of 8-9 years. It is planned for two regular English lessons per week, over a period of eight
weeks (= 16 classes), in a group of 12 students, one teacher and one assistant.

3. Focus- Creativity:
Intro: While meditating with music, every child imagined one color and was asked to observe and concentrate on whatever feeling they could
sense. Afterwards we shared our impressions.
Painting:The students got different colors to make paintings for self-chosen feelings.
We gave them one feeling and they had to chose one color for this feeling and make a painting with only this one color that include different
shades of one color.
Working with clay: Creating a symbol for one feeling.
Preparation/Material
Preparation: Create a suitable atmosphere in the classroom, maybe create for each treated feeling a different corner.
Material: Dictionary, colors, music, booklet (material to create an own individual creative booklet) and colored papers.
Process
How has it been implemented?
Documentation: Each child has his/her own idea about their feelings. They wrote about it and shared with the class.
Made the poetry using few feelings.
Used colors with soft music for drawing.
Discussion
Modifications:
- add more feelings,
- have a box with cards of feelings to introduce more words, make it possible to learn more independently,
- create a feeling- game ( e.g. everyone expresses one feeling, the others have to guess which it is)
What where the challenges in implementing this project?
For few children it was difficult to concentrate and put their feelings in the words.
What are improvements you could recommend?
