Gather the children and show pictures of faces from media (cartoons, photos, emojis).

Implementacija

Ask: "How do they feel?" and "How can you tell?" (eyes, mouth, eyebrows).

Encourage children to imitate the expressions and name the emotions.

Discuss how we can recognise feelings in people and characters.

Invite children to draw or model their own "emotion faces" using paper or clay.

Share and talk about the creations: "Who is this? How do they feel? Why?"

Use short news media clips and pause to discuss how they might make the child feel.

Osnovne informacije in didaktična perspektiva

Understanding emotions in media supports both media literacy and social-emotional learning (SEL). Recognizing how feelings are shown in images helps children interpret media messages and respond empathetically. By linking visual cues to emotions, children learn that media characters express feelings just as people do, though sometimes in exaggerated ways. Creating their own emotion faces deepens understanding through active expression and play. The activity enhances emotional vocabulary, empathy, and nonverbal communication while encouraging reflection on how media influence our perception of emotions.
