Developed by the University of New Hampshire Health and Wellness (and utilizing the work of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence), the Mood Meter activity helps students identify and name their emotions – a key skill for developing self-regulation. Emotions exist across the axis of Pleasantness and Energy. After naming their emotions, students are prompted to think about how these feelings can best be channeled or matched with certain activities, reinforcing that all emotions are accepted.
