Overview
About Mood Meters
This activity helps students recognize how they are feeling and learn strategies for regulating their emotions. Using a mood meter also helps teachers understand how their students are feeling so they can make a plan to follow up one-on-one as needed. Over time and with repeated use of the mood meter, students can develop an increasingly sophisticated vocabulary to describe their feelings and work their empathy muscles by listening to their peers and strategizing about ways to support them.
