Ups and Downs

Exploring a variety of emotions, this collection of 100 monologues is designed for elementary school students to enhance their empathy and acting skills. The book is divided into three parts: contrasting scenarios, different perspectives on the same situation, and open-ended situations that promote discussion. Each monologue lasts one to two minutes and includes a comprehensive emotions list to help children articulate their feelings. With a balance of gender-neutral selections, it encourages kids to connect with diverse experiences and strengthen their relationships.
