Magnetic Body Sensations Board

Magnetic Body Sensations Board

Help children build emotional awareness by exploring how emotions feel within the body.

This interactive magnetic activity encourages children to identify and connect physical sensations with different emotions, helping them develop a deeper understanding of their emotional experiences. Using the magnetic tokens, children can place sensations on different areas of the body to represent where they might feel them when experiencing emotions such as happiness, excitement, worry, anger, sadness, or fear.

As children learn to recognize the physical signs of their emotions, they become better equipped to identify, communicate, and manage their feelings. Developing this awareness can support emotional regulation, self-understanding, and meaningful conversations about wellbeing.

This resource also introduces the concept of interoception—our ability to notice and understand signals from within our body. Interoceptive awareness plays an important role in emotional regulation, helping children recognize what they are feeling and respond to their needs more effectively.

Designed to be hands-on and engaging, this activity makes learning about emotions accessible and meaningful for children of all ages.
