Emotion Lesson Plans

Emotion Songs, Poems and Action Rhymes

Happy, Sad, Scared, Excited
author Cassie Mayfield

Happy, sad, scared, excited
Grumpy, silly, tired, mad
Emotions that, we all share
Of them all there's not one bad

Happy, sad, scared, excited
Grumpy, silly, tired, mad
Some are not to fun to have
​There are others that make me glad

Happy, sad, scared, excited
Grumpy, silly, tired, mad
It helps to name them every one
And share them with a friend when done

If You're Happy and You Know It

​adapted by: Cassie Mayfield

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you're sad and you know it, make a frown

If you're scared and you know it, shout OH NO!
​
If you're mad and you know it, show your teeth

If it's fun and you know it, stomp your feet

If you're tired and you know it rub your eyes
If you're tired and you know it rub our eyes
If you're tired and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you're tired and you know it close your eyes
