Feeling Wheel

 Instructions from the book: 

1 . Using a pencil, draw a large circle on your paper. If you need help drawing a circle, trace a round object. A kitchen bowl is easy to use for this purpose.
2 . Divide the circle into eight triangles (like a pie).
3 . On the edge of each triangle, write a feeling. When you’re done, you should have eight triangles with eight feelings written at the top of each triangle.
4 . Choose a color that you closely associate with the feeling you have written, and color in the triangle with a combination of colored pencils and oil pastels. Be sure not to color over the feeling you’ve listed. Do this for each of the eight triangles.

 

 Questions for Discussion:
· Which feelings did you write down first?
· Which feelings are you currently experiencing?
· Did you color any two emotions the same color? If you did, what does this mean to you?
· Are there more positive emotions or negative ones on your Feeling Wheel?

I first drew sadness because I am currently experiencing it. I tried to have one color for one feeling. Blue and red make purple and red and yellow make orange. I have more negative emotions on my feeling wheel.
