• Give class members a scenario then challenge them to identify the emotion an individual may feel 

Classroom Considerations

• Preview each emotion and the example that's provided to confirm its level of appropriateness for your population 
• Requires a computer or mobile learning device for every child or small group 
• Although designed for learners with autism, the emotions wheel is appropriate for all learners
