My Many Colored Days Craft Lesson

Discussion: Everybody has "Many Colored Days", but not everybody knows how to express their emotions in the appropriate way.
After reading My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss, have the kids discuss the different emotions that they remember from the book. Then ask them what kind of events make them feel happy, or sad, or angry or busy as a bee! Then we could talk about how their feelings make them react, such as if they yell or get frustrated, and talk about whether these reactions are appropriate.

Activity: After our discussion, have the children write a short story or draw a picture about the way they should handle a situation when they get angry, or scared (etc.) After they finish their picture, they can share with the class. This way kids could come up with the right behaviors on their own, without being told what is right or wrong.
