Note to facilitator: Make sure that the mother is clear on what she must do in the session. Before every activity you could quickly recap
and make sure the mother understands the activity.
Activity 1: Drawing emotions
Materials needed: Pencils, A4 paper
Each mother-child pair will receive two A4 papers. Ask the mothers to explain to their children how the activity will work. The mothers
and children will take turns. First the mother will ask her child to draw her face (the mother's face) on the A4 paper. Ask the mother
to display a happy, sad, surprise, annoyed, angry or any other emotion on their face for her child to draw. Then the mother must ask
her child to show how he or she (the child) is feeling, and then the mother has to draw her child's feeling face on the A4 paper. Ask
the pairs to discuss these feelings they had drawn with each other. Ask the mother to ask her child the following question: "When
do you feel like this?"
(Refer to child's drawing). Remind the mothers to give encouragement to their children and to give positive feedback on their children's
efforts.
Activity 2: Emotion masks
Materials needed: two paper plates for every mother-child pair, pencils, crayons and scissors.
Explain to the mothers the reason behind the activity. Explain that this activity aims at helping the children to practise how to identify
and how to recognise emotions. Recognising, identifying and expressing of emotions are important for good communication skills
and strong relationships between people.
