Emotions Through Movement

Explore how your body can show feelings. Make a safe space around you, move gently, and stop if you feel uncomfortable. There is no single right way to show a feeling.

Notice the movement

At the library makerspace, Layla, Talia and Cooper are waiting for a turn to show a moving robot. They each use a different movement to show a feeling. Read each question and choose or write your answer.

1.Layla feels cheerful. Which movement could show her feeling?
  • Light, bouncy steps
  • Curling up and staying still
  • Stamping hard
2.Cooper is excited but wants to keep a safe space around his body. Name one safe movement he could try.
3.Talia feels calm. Tick the two movements that could show calm.
  • Slow, smooth arm circles
  • Quiet tiptoe steps
  • Fast stomping
  • Wild spinning near others

Try different ways to move

Use your face, arms, legs and whole body to show feelings. You can choose a small movement or a large movement.

4.True or false: You can change how fast or slowly you move to help show a feeling.
5.Match each feeling to a movement that could show it. Draw lines or say your matches aloud.
  • Tired
  • Proud
  • Excited
  • Stand tall with a gentle, steady pose
  • Small, slow movements
  • Light, quick movements
6.Show a feeling using only your arms. What feeling did you choose, and what did your arms do?
7.Which choice helps everyone move safely in a shared space?
  • Look around and leave room between people
  • Run without watching
  • Copy a movement very close to someone

Make your own movement

Choose a feeling and invent a safe movement to show it. You can move standing up or seated.

8.Draw yourself doing a movement that shows a feeling. Add a face that matches your feeling.
Draw a safe movement that shows a feeling.
9.Finish the sentence: I chose to show by moving my .
10.After trying the movement, choose one word for how your body feels now: calm, cheerful, excited, tired, or another feeling.
