Lyrics

Feelings, feelings everywhere
Let us learn about them all!!

When I'm happy I laugh out loud
I smile so big I feel so proud
When I'm sad I might just cry
But with a hug I feel alright

Feelings, feelings everywhere
Let us learn about them all!!

When I'm nervous, my hands might shake.
Meeting new friends makes me scared.
But after we play and say hello, hey!!
the scared feeling starts to go.

Feelings, feelings everywhere
Let us learn about them all!!

When I'm sad, to say goodbye,
I might feel tears in my eyes,
Playing with friends makes me glad,
and soon I don't feel so sad.
Feelings, feelings everywhere
Let us learn about them all!!
When I find a little treat,
My eyes go wide, my heart beats fast.
I'm so happy, I clap my hands,
Surprises are just the best!

Feelings, feelings everywhere
Let us learn about them all!!

Activity 1: Emma’s Emotion Masks

Turn screen time into an interactive learning experience! This hands-on activity allows kids to physically engage with the emotions they are learning about in the song.

How to Use This Activity:

● Create: Have your child color the faces, then carefully cut them out along the solid lines. Attach a popsicle stick to the bottom tab using glue or tape.
● Play: Play the "Learn Emotions With Emma" video and ask your child to hold up the matching mask whenever Emma sings about feeling happy, sad, nervous, or surprised.

● Builds Fine Motor Skills: Coloring within the lines and using safety scissors are excellent ways to strengthen the small muscles in a child’s hands, preparing them for writing.
● Bridges Communication Gaps: For toddlers and preschoolers who are still developing their vocabulary, holding up a visual cue is a stress-free way to communicate big feelings.
● Encourages Active Listening: Waiting for the right emotion in the song teaches focus, patience, and active listening.
