Ameera is Sad

Basma and Jad are playing a game where they are standing on different colored squares and can only move squares based on the color they roll on a block. Basma is sad because she is on the pink square and rolls pink so she can’t move. Chicken interrupts with a big feelings alert – it’s their friend Ameera! Ameera was searching for the perfect leaf and when she finally found it, she lost it. Basma and Jad help her identify this feeling as “sadness” and help her feel better by teaching her how to “talk talk talk it to herself.” The self talk strategy helps both Ameera and Basma feel better.
