How could I teach my class to label and recognise their feelings, emotions and moods when online?

• It is important for students to learn how to recognise and label their own emotions when they are in online environments whether it is playing games, using social media or doing schoolwork. These emotions may include happiness, love, fear, excitement, anger, jealousy depending on the situation.
• Some feelings can influence behaviour and be more difficult to recognise or to deal with than others. Help your class to learn about the way their body can give clues about our feelings, emotions and moods e.g. “what do you think it means when your heart beats faster or when your face becomes hot” (Media Smarts).
• The Improving Social and Emotional Learning in Primary Schools Guidance Report has strategies and examples for teachers to use for developing general Self Awareness skills.
• eSafety kids helps start conversations such as ‘how do I know if I have been mean to others online?‘
