Feeling Mask

Children were excited when they were first told about this activity. At the beginning, children will act out different feelings. They have to think of a situation that makes them feel in a certain way; happy, sad or mad. After they have discussed for a while about different feelings, they were each given paper plates to do face masks depicting their different feelings. Children were encouraged to decorate their masks.



Howell said,”My mask is red like a volcano. When I am angry the lava will come down!”

Sze Qi said,”My mask is sad because I want my mummy.”


Baxton, Lai Jun Meng and Winnie are engrossed painting their masks which shows
different feelings.



Lu Kiat is painting a beautiful mask and said, ”My mask is happy and is going to many places.”


Tamilmathi said that she chose red because her mask is angry because someone push her and scold her.


Janani is putting in her final touch to her ‘angry’ mask.


Nasha said,”My mask is sad because someone spoil my doll.”


Ryan was very on-task, concentrating on his painting.

In this activity, children learn to connect colours with emotions and also to use art to express and represent their experiences and their emotional state of mind. More to come next month!
