Quick answer
The Feels Unit Plan is a digital SEL resource from Slumberkins that helps educators teach students to identify five major emotional states and practice strategies for managing their feelings.
Why the Feels Unit Plan stands out for educators
Unlike many SEL resources that focus only on naming emotions, this unit plan emphasizes collaboration instead of combativeness with feelings. It teaches children to listen without judgment to what their emotions have to say, which builds long-term emotional resilience.
The plan is designed for classroom use and aligns with common social-emotional learning goals. It gives teachers a structured yet flexible framework for integrating emotional education into daily lessons without requiring extensive prep time.
What the Feels Unit Plan does not include
The unit plan is a digital download, so it does not include physical props, plush toys, or printed materials. Educators need to supply their own printing or projection equipment. It also does not provide video or audio content—lessons are text-based and activity-driven.
Frequently asked questions
What age group is the Feels Unit Plan designed for?
The plan is aimed at early elementary students, typically ages 4–8, but the activities can be adapted for slightly older or younger children depending on their social-emotional development.
How long does it take to teach the Feels Unit Plan?
The unit is designed to be flexible. Most educators spend one to two weeks covering the five emotional states, with each lesson taking about 20–30 minutes. You can extend or shorten based on your schedule. Plan for at least five separate lesson sessions to give each emotion adequate attention.
Do I need any special training to use the Feels Unit Plan?
No. The guide includes clear instructions and discussion prompts, so any educator or caregiver can facilitate the lessons without prior SEL training. It's written in plain language with practical steps.
Can the Feels Unit Plan be used alongside other Slumberkins digital resources?
Yes. The unit plan complements other Slumberkins digital guides, such as the Creativity Unit Plan or Grief and Loss Unit Plan, without overlapping content. You can mix and match to build a custom SEL curriculum.
