NOTE to TEACHERS:  When Pixar released "Inside Out" in 2015, I was blown away --not only by the incredible creativity that is always part of "PIXAR," but by the important message and opportunity for learning about emotions the film gave in a time when mental health issues are everywhere.  I knew I wanted to use the ideas in this film to get kids talking --to get their parents talking!  There are many curriculums centered around "Inside Out" on the web. This is yet another, however I decided to take it a step further and have kids present the story in a play to deepen their understanding by living in the characters. This worked so well, we decided to share it with kids in other schools.

There is a GREAT DEAL in Pixar's film that is impossible to portray in an elementary play, however there is a great deal we can show. It is a parody of Pixar's excellent film, but we hope it reaches out to kids.  I am including a pdf of ideas you can use with your kiddos and encourage you to get them immersed in the incredible learning to be found in the story. Learning that will help our kids learn about their emotions and the emotions of others and begin developing the skills they need to have self control.

Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood Great Site!

Journal Writing #1 - What Do You Do With the Mad You Feel. (on website)

Journal Writing #2 - LOOK FOR THE HELPERS

Journal Writing #3 - Read this quote from Mr. Rogers and respond:

"I just feel that there isn't enough silence, you know, and I'm always asking people if they can just give some silence. We're in a medium that allows so little of that. The last time I went to the White House, I said, 'Would you please just have a half minute of silence to think about somebody who has helped you become who you are?' and that whole fancy meeting, you know, that whole fancy East Room of the White House, sitting silently, thinking about people who they might not have thought of for a long time that had made a big difference in their lives. When that meeting was over, one of the guards came up to me all in white and with gold braids and everything, and he said, 'Mr. Rogers, do you know who I thought about during that half minute that you gave us?'  And I said, 'No, who?'  He said, "I thought of my grandfather's brother.'  And I said, 'How was he special to you?'  ' He replied, "Just before he died he took me to his basement and gave me his fishing rod... I hadn't thought of that for a long, long time.'"
