Part One

There are many different feelings that we can experience.

Some of these feelings are good feelings  e.g. happy

Some of these feelings are not so good feelings e.g. scared.

It is ok for us to experience both types of feelings and it is good to talk to somebody about all of the feelings we have so they can help us.

Activity One

Do you remember Maz the alien?        

Can you help him to sort these feelings by copying the feelings words onto a piece of paper and drawing a smiley   face next to words that are good feelings and a sad   face next to words that are not so good feelings. If you are unsure you could put a  question mark  '?' next to the word.

Here are the feelings words (you can add some of your own too):

scared

happy

comfortable

upset

embarrassed

worried

confident

jealous

calm

ashamed

uncomfortable

sad

excited

angry

nervous

confused

bored

silly

lonely

grumpy

proud

Activity Two

Imagine you are Maz the alien.

Can you choose a word from our list, or one of your own, to explain how you think Maz would feel in the different scenarios below.

1. Maz eating sweets.

2. Maz being in the dark.

3. Maz being told off.

4. Maz cuddling his teddy.

5. Maz going to a birthday party.

6. Maz having his own birthday party.

7. Maz getting wet in the rain.

8. Maz being away from his family.

9. Maz seeing a spider.

10. Maz hearing his favourite song.

11. Maz going to the funfair.

12. Maz not being able to use his computer.

13. Maz playing  in the garden when the sun is shining.

Can you think of ways that you could help Maz with his  'good' and 'not so good' feelings? Perhaps you know that sometimes you get very excited and you might need someone to help you calm down or maybe you are feeling lonely  and you might need someone to spend some time with you.
