50 ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Through the broad range of activities in this emotional literacy curriculum, students learn how to express themselves constructively, think through the consequences of their behaviors, develop empathy, accept responsibility for their decisions, and manage conflict and stress. The program also covers group dynamics. Based on psychologist/author Daniel Goleman’s best seller, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, the program begins with a readable discussion of EQ theory and a rationale for teaching it. Instructional strategies include simulations, role plays, “experience sheets,” and a variety of large- and small-group experiments and discussions, including the sharing circle.
