The following exercise is a fun yet educational way to work on learning different emotions.  Pick a movie that is of interest to your child.  Even a movie like Shrek is good.  My son studies Taekwondo, so we watched Karate Kid.

Video Watching

Watch a movie with your child.  Stop the show on at least five occasions and ask your child how a person feels in the scene.  Your child should write or tell you about the emotion(s) that the person is experiencing.  This exercise is intended to help your child who currently doesn't understand these concepts therefore you will need to help them.  Adding an analogy from his/her own life is very useful.
