Curriculum SEL through
EMBODY&FEEL

🎭 What Is EMBODY & FEEL™?

EMBODY & FEEL™ is a 5-module Social & Emotional Learning curriculum built around wearable emotion tools — hooded towels featuring Ahvian The Creative™ emotion characters.

Each emotion becomes:

• • A role children can step into
• • A character they can relate to
• • A safe space to explore big feelings

Instead of telling children to “calm down,” we give them tools to understand what their body is telling them.

❤️ Why This Curriculum Matters

Children today experience:

• • Big emotions they can’t name
• • Sensory overload
• • Social pressure and transitions
• • Limited tools to express feelings safely

When emotions are misunderstood, they come out as behaviors. EMBODY & FEEL™ helps children:

• ✔️ Build emotional awareness
• ✔️ Develop self-regulation skills
• ✔️ Communicate feelings verbally and non-verbally
• ✔️ Practice empathy and boundaries
• ✔️ Feel seen, safe, and supported

🌈 The 5 Emotion Modules

• • 💛 Joy – Expression & Connection
    Builds confidence, social engagement, and positive self-expression.

• • 💙 Sadness – Validation & Comfort
    Supports emotional safety, reflection, and compassionate communication.

• • ❤️ Anger – Awareness & Regulation
    Helps children release big feelings safely and practice calming strategies.

• • 💚 Disgust – Boundaries & Sensory Awareness
    Teaches children to recognize discomfort, set boundaries, and advocate for themselves.

• 💜 Fear → Courage – Confidence & Resilience
  Supports bravery, transitions, and emotional growth through guided role-play.

Each module includes a wearable emotion hooded towel and structured activities designed to fit seamlessly into SEL routines.

🧠 How It Works (The EMBODY & FEEL™ Method)

1. Wear the Emotion: Children put on the hooded towel representing the emotion.
2. Move & Act: Guided movement, role-play, and facial expressions bring emotions to life.
3. Name & Notice: Children identify body sensations, thoughts, and feelings.
4. Regulate & Reflect: Breathing, grounding, and coping strategies are introduced.
5. Return to Balance: Children transition back to calm and connection.

This process supports embodied learning, which is especially effective for neurodiverse learners.

• • “What am I feeling?”
