Title of Bulletin Board: Which Emoji Are You Today?

Category: Student Behavior

Suggested Grade Level: 3-5

Materials: Jelly bracelets, Emoji cutouts, Emoji descriptions, Thumbtacks

Description:

Each day when students enter the activity space for physical education, they go to the bulletin board and choose the bracelet (next to the corresponding Emoji) that best describes their mood. This is helpful to the teacher and others in the room when interacting with students. At the end of the class during closure, students will return the bracelets and you can ask students to share if their mood changed.

This is in collaboration with Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL).

Additional Information:

Tip to Consider: Another idea to consider is to have all "bracelets" given out by the instructor and not taken off the board. This might help the instructor "keep up" with getting those bracelets back on the board after each class. If the students understood the emojis when entering class they could then relay that to the teacher and be given a bracelet. This would ALSO give the teacher an indication of how each student feels without having to look at each student's bracelet
