Emotions Song for Preschool with Free Lyrics Printable

 

free

Learning about emotions and how to recognize emotions for young children needs to be the focus of in the moment learning – “Look, Allie do you see Jason’s face? He’s sad you took his ball.” as well as intentional lessons. The intentional lessons don’t have to be exhaustive and can absolutely be fun! I sing this emotions song for preschool and variations of it often in my classroom, and it helps. Once you talk about emotions, the students start noticing them more as well.

The song is a variation on the classic “If You Are Happy, And You Know It.”

When I sing this, I over exaggerate my faces, and I encourage the children to make the faces along with the body language. So often we focus emotion lessons only on faces, but children’s bodies tell us how they are feeling too.

Emotions Song for Preschool

If you are happy, and you know it clap your hands
If you are happy, and you know it clap your hands
If you are happy, and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you are happy, and you know it clap your hands.

Now replace happy with different emotions:

Mad – cross your arms.
Frustrated – stomp your feet.
Excited – jump up and down.
Sad – make a frown
Scared – hide your face.

    Thanks for these, my daughter is the age where she’s learning more about emotions and how to interact with them.
