Learning About Emotions Through Play and Creativity

By -

My students visited the Children’s and Youth Department of the M. Daukša Public Library in Kėdainiai District. There, they participated in an integrated educational activity titled “Colorful Emotions in the Rhythm of Our Hearts”, conducted as part of the international eTwinning project “HEARTBEATS: Cultures, Rhythms & Well-being Across Europe.” Through games, reading, and creative activities, they explored how emotions have their own colors and affect heart rhythms, gaining insight into feelings, thoughts, and behavior while developing self-awareness and communication skills.

  The Lithuanian team joyfully took part in the celebration of International Dot Day. To begin, the students watched the inspiring short film “The Dot” by Peter H.

To mark the occasion, the students created their own colorful dots and brought them to life using the augmented reality app Quiver. The moment when the drawings transformed into 3D animated creations was truly exciting and filled the classroom with surprise and joy. It was a wonderful experience that combined creativity, art, and modern technology, leaving students inspired to keep exploring their talents.
