How to Use These Emojis

 

 

Language Arts

1. Use of Emotions in Stories

After reading a story to your students ask them to pick the emojis that relate to the emotions of the characters in the story and then explain why they picked the emojis they selected. Ask them to find the passages in the story that describe the emotion or actions that describe the emotion of the emojis they picked.

Give three emojis to each student and have them write a short puppet skit using all three emotions and emoji puppets in their skit.

To add an art activity have your students design bodies for their emjoi pupputs.

4. Describing Emotions

Give each student an emoji instructing them not to let anyone else see their emoji. Each student should try to describe their emoji without saying the emotion. For example, a child may say, "My emoji jumps up and down when it sees a present." or "My emoji has red eyes after crying all day."
