Handout 1: The handout provides a template for the children to make their own emotion fans. The handout includes a page for ‘comfortable’ feelings, a page for ‘uncomfortable’ feelings and a page of blank fans for the children to add their own emotions either in the lesson or at a later time. 

Note: The emotion fans will be used in following lessons. Ensure they are stored somewhere safe and consider printing on card/laminating them to preserve them.
