The How Do You Feel Today? SpinzyWheel is a gentle, kid-friendly activity that helps learners name emotions, practice self-awareness, and share feelings in a safe, playful way. Instead of asking the usual โHow are you?โโwhich often gets one-word answersโthis SpinzyWheel gives varied prompts that invite children to think, speak, act, or reflect about their emotions.
๐งญ Why use it
Regularly checking in builds emotional vocabulary, reduces anxiety, and creates a classroom culture where feelings are noticed and respected. Small, repeated practices teach students to notice shifts in mood and to choose healthy responses (breathing, asking for help, taking a break). The wheel format keeps check-ins fresh and makes emotional learning feel like a game rather than a test.
๐ฏ How it helps
This activity improves emotional literacy (naming feelings), social skills (listening and empathy), and self-regulation (choosing calming strategies). Itโs adaptableโuse it for morning circles, after recess, or at the end of the day. Prompts vary from quick one-word answers to short actions (stretch, deep breath) or sharing a small detail (one thing that made you smile).
๐งฉ Practical tips
Keep responses short and age-appropriate.Model answers first to show openness.Celebrate honesty and effort, not just โhappyโ answers.Allow private options (write instead of speak) for sensitive students.๐ [h3]How to use[/h3]
