IMPROVISED TALES WITH PUPPETS
THE SADNESS
Sadness is an emotion we experience due to the loss of something valuable, an object, a game, an opportunity and especially a loved one. Someone who is sad feels like crying, it is difficult for him to have a frank relationship with others and he tends to withdraw into himself.
I have to let a person cry when they are sad, if they feel like it. We can offer you our help, but respecting your privacy.

The students have improvised a story about an emotion previously chosen by them.
In this case the emotion was sadness. They have prepared the story, and once it has been staged with puppets, they have written and drawn it. All in one session.
We reflected: Why did they choose this emotion? In what situation do we feel sadness? Can we comfort people who are sad? How?
