Sung to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
I have feelings. Point to self.
So do you. Point to children.
Let’s all sing about a few
I am happy. Smile.
I am sad. Frown.
I get scared. Wrap arms around self and make a scared face.
I get mad. Make a fist and shake it or stomp feet.
I am proud of being me. Hands on hips, shoulders straight, smile.
That’s a feeling too, you see.
