How can I use this with my children?
This simple song about everyday emotions
is great to use during regular singing time
Parent Guide
with your child or as a specific activity for
them to learn more about the emotions
they may be feeling.
How does this help my children’s learning?
As your child grows, they’ll be feeling a
wider range of new emotions. Being able to
label different emotions can help them to
express themselves and spark discussion.
Ideas for further learning:
Pair each verse with a picture of someone
feeling that certain emotion. Can your
child pick out which picture matches
each verse? You could also come up with
actions or facial expressions together.
All About My Emotions
(Sing to the tune of ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It’)
If you’re feeling very happy,
Give a smile.
If you’re feeling very happy,
Dance with style.
You can jump, you can sing or celebrate
like a king,
If you’re feeling very happy,
Give a smile.
If you’re feeling very sad,
Have a cry.
If you’re feeling very sad,
Give a sigh.
You can ask for a hug or wrap yourself up
nice and snug.
If you’re feeling very sad,
Have a cry.
If you’re feeling very tired,
Go to sleep.
If you’re feeling very tired,
Not a peep.
Take a nap or a snooze, have a lie down where
you choose.
If you’re feeling very tired,
Go to sleep.

If you’re feeling very angry,
You might shout.
If you’re feeling very angry,
You might pout.
Take a breath, fold your arms, find a place with
peace and calm,
If you’re feeling very angry,
You might shout.
If you’re feeling very excited,
Jump and grin.
If you’re feeling very excited,
It’s a win.
Wave your hands, shout with glee, smile for all
the world to see.
If you’re feeling very excited,
Jump and grin.
If you’re feeling very calm,
Take it slow.
If you’re feeling very calm,
Go with the flow.
Do something quiet, something hush, ask your
friends to kindly shush.
If you’re feeling very calm,
Take it slow.
