Feeling Finder

Learn to Understand Your Feelings

Have you ever had a day where everything felt a bit… off?

In this adventure, you’ll learn how to:

  • notice your feelings
  • understand where they come from
  • and discover how your choices can help change them

Just like Sam in the story.


📖 Step 1: Read the Story:
Sam and the Mood that Changed

As you read, think about:

  • How Sam feels at different times
  • What changes his mood
  • What choices he makes
Sam and the Mood that ChangedDownload

🧠 Step 2: Think About It

Answer these questions:

  1. How was Sam feeling at the start of the story?
  2. What helped Sam pause and think instead of reacting?
  3. What did Sam do differently at school?
  4. What happened when Sam made a new choice?
  5. What do you think the story is trying to teach us?

👉 There are no “perfect” answers, we want to hear your thoughts.


🌈 Step 3: Become a Feelings Finder

For the next 3 days, try to notice your own feelings.

Each day, take a moment to ask yourself:

  • What am I feeling?
  • What might have caused it?
  • What did I choose to do?

💡 Remember: All feelings are okay. What matters is what we do next.
