The Emotions flashcards are great to make your students to be aware of their feelings and their classmates in English.

Place the emotions flashcards all around the classroom. Tell students to put their hands behind their back. Shout out an emotions phrase. 
Teacher: The girl is angry. 
The students have to look around and race to touch that flashcard.  The first one to touch it wins a point. The winner is the one with the most points.

I had making a big dice on my to do list and here it is. I finally saw the perfect box at the supermarket. I wrapped it up with some recycled paper, added the clear plastic sheets to introduce the flashcards. You can use the dice with any other unit.

I love to recycle the old vocabulary into the new unit. It provides deep learning as we make students connect prior knowledge(school supplies) and the new knowledge (emotions)
Here is a set of crayons that have an emotion on the face to review.
Teacher: What is this?
Students: a crayon!
Teacher: Is the crayon angry?
Students: YES!

Do the same with the other school supplies emotions flashcards.Then, start sorting the flashcards on the board.

Emotions Small cards. I am adding the same face flashcards in 4 in one page cards for printing purpose and for online teaching.                                      Small cards for the emotions unit

Use the letter stencils! I found mine buried inside a box. I used it for having students write the words based on the small cards.                                          emotions small cards activity

There is also a set of the emotions small cards with school supplies. And, sure, sort them by emotions and by school supply.

Emotions Unit Cutouts. Use these to review the emotions. Place them on top of your own face. The cutouts are also helpful for online teaching.
Ask questions:
Teacher: Look! Is she happy?
Students: Yes! / No
