Glad Monster, Sad Monster Large Group:

We read the book, Glad Monster, Sad Monster by Ed Emberly and Anne Miranda. We have a dice with the monster faces on each side. Each student gets a turn to roll the dice and decide how we want to act out the emotion displayed on the monster's face. We then sing the song, "If your happy and you know it" with the rolled emotion and student's selected action. For example:

"If your angry and you know it make a frown, if your angry and you know it make a frown, if your angry and you know it and you've really gotta show it, if your angry and you know it make a frown." 

We then mark on a chart which emotion was rolled and at the end talk about which emotion we rolled the most.
