ESL LESSON PLAN: FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS

Unit Overview

In this level 0 kids ESL lesson plan on emotions and feelings, students will explore basic emotions such as happy, sad, angry, and scared. Through fun activities, songs, and games, they will learn to recognize and express these feelings in English, helping them to communicate their emotions more effectively

Level 0 is perfect for young learners who are just starting out on their English learning journey. Students with zero English knowledge are able to take these classes, allowing them to take their first steps towards fluency
