How Do You Feel? (Feelings Song)

Rumi's pebble tower tumbles down and his face changes so fast that Piko can't tell how he feels. Luma helps everyone look at faces and name four feelings, with a calm-down step for each. A sing-along feelings song for ages 2–5.

Actions: Chorus: point to your face on 'show your face'. Chant: big grin on 'HA', rub your eyes on 'boo-hoo', scrunch your eyebrows on 'GRR', hands on cheeks on 'EEK'. Verse 1: hop, spin and clap. Verse 2: hug yourself (or a grown-up). Bridge: stomp once, then put your hands on your tummy and take a big balloon breath in, and blow out slowly. Verse 3: jump a little, then hold a grown-up's hand and peek.

Chorus

How do you feel? Show your face!
Happy, sad, mad, or scared?
Every feeling is okay! (It's okay!)
Say it, and a friend is there!
Hmm, hmm, HA! (Hmm, hmm, HA!)
Boo, hoo, GRR! (Boo, hoo, GRR!)
Hmm, hmm, HA! Boo, hoo, GRR! EEK! (EEK!)

Verse 1

Piko's happy! See his grin?
Hop, hop, hop, and spin, spin, spin!
Happy? Share it! Shout hooray!
Clap, clap, clap, a happy day!

Verse 2

Rumi's sad, his eyes look down,
Little tears go drip, drip, drip.
Sad is okay. Ask for a hug,
Snuggle close, and sniff, sniff, sniff.

Chorus

Bridge

Grr! I'm mad! My eyebrows frown,
Gentle hands, feet on the ground.
Mad is okay. Stop, and breathe in slow,
Big balloon breath... out you blow.

Verse 3

Pop! Eek! Our eyes go wide!
Scared? Come stand right by my side.
Hold a hand and look with me...
Just a puffball! Whew! You see?

Chorus

Outro

Every feeling is okay... Hmm, hmm, HA!
