When I feel......I will.....
Overview
Expressing needs is linked to identifying and expressing feelings. The activity's objective is to enable children to express feelings first and foremost to be able to identify and express their needs.
Expressing needs and wants
Get an empty template of a wheel, show the child different feelings, and let him/her pick his/her top 3 to 5 feelings and stick them.
Then let them talk about each feeling, a moment he/she felt this way, and what he/she thinks he/she needed at that moment.
After the child mentions the need, discuss it with him/her and let him/her draw it beside the feeling to be able to link between his feelings and needs, and also realize the importance of saying this need out.
