'How am I feeling' poster

[jadavi]

I'm looking for a good poster showing different expressions like..'what am I feeling'

I have one A4 size showing caricature cartoon expressions ...angry, tired etc about 10 pics in all. The kids stop so often and discuss them etc. I realised I want to change it for a good one...maybe real photos. Any recommendations? Al good stuff for helping children be more emotionally articulate.

Why dont you get the kids to pull the faces themselves and make a poster using their own pictures....

Hi, I have a fabric one with teddys heads that you Velcro on to the body, there loads of different heads with different emotions, the kids love it, I got mine from TTS. X

We have made a book with laminated photos of the LO's making the faces, sad, happy, shy etc. we call it "The I feel book"

We have also done a book called "our friends" which has a picture of all the LO's we have.

We also have an in and out board in our hallway which the LO's put their picture on (we use velcro) there are 2 spaces that they can put their pics, these are "today I am feeling Happy or sad". If one of the LO's put their pic on the sad side then we will have a chat with them to see why, it works really well.

Thanks Dave - some great ideas

How about using a mirror and put all the pictures around the outside to frame it , then they can look at their faces and match expressions too?
I did this alongside blank face playdough mats for them to put on smiles etc.
