LIGHTHOUSE EMOTIONS & FEELINGS WORKSHOP

Child Welfare committee: Recognising,
expressing, and managing emotions
are crucial life skills, and the Super
Power Emotions & Feelings Detectives
workshop was designed to nurture
these abilities in children and their
mothers. Through interactive activities,
participants learn to navigate emotions
with confidence and calmness.
Activity 1: Emotion Cards
Children and mothers are shown cards
displaying different emotions. Together,
they guess the emotions, fostering
a better understanding of facial
expressions and feelings.
Activity 2: Enacting Emotions
In pairs, one person enacts an emotion
while the other guesses it. This activity
deepens emotional awareness and
strengthens the bond between mother
and child.
Activity 3: Skit – The Birthday
Party
A playful skit teaches participants that
emotions, like gifts, don’t always need
to be accepted. Negative feelings can
be acknowledged without reacting
impulsively. The message: pause, think,
and act calmly.
Activity 4: “Smell the Flower,
Blow the Candle”
This simple breathing exercise offers
a way to calm down when upset.
Participants inhale deeply, imagining
the scent of a flower, and exhale slowly,
as if blowing out a candle.
Through these creative exercises,
children and their mothers learn to
embrace emotions as superpowers,
equipping them for emotional resilience
and harmony.
