Understanding Time to Talk Day in EYFS & KS1
Let's use our voices and talk about how we feel! š£ļøš¬ Time to Talk Day is an annual event in the UK, typically held in early February. It is a crucial initiative run by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, in partnership with the Co-op. The day aims to encourage open and honest conversations about mental health, working to reduce the stigma often associated with it. It serves as a powerful reminder that mental health problems are common and can affect anyone, emphasising that simply talking about how we feel is a vital first step towards seeking support and recovery.
For early years settings, nurseries, preschools, childminders, and Year 1 and Year 2 classrooms, this day provides an invaluable and sensitive theme for exploring emotions, communication and language, active listening, empathy, and personal, social & emotional development (PSED). It's about creating a safe and welcoming environment where children feel comfortable expressing their feelings, understanding that it's okay not to be okay, and learning how to listen to and support their friends. This day offers fantastic planning ideas and inspiration for engaging activities that truly resonate with young minds, making learning about emotional well-being and support networks both foundational and empowering.
Why Is Encouraging Talk About Feelings Important for Young Children?
Integrating Time to Talk Day and encouraging open conversations about feelings into your practice with young children (aged 0-7) helps build their emotional resilience, foster healthy communication, and support their overall mental well-being.
Emotional Literacy: Helps children develop the vocabulary to identify, name, and understand a wide range of emotions in themselves and others.
Safe Expression: Creates a secure environment where children feel safe to share their feelings, knowing they will be heard and respected.
Problem-Solving Skills: Encourages children to articulate challenges, which is the first step towards finding solutions or seeking help.
Empathy and Connection: Promotes active listening and understanding of peers' feelings, strengthening friendships and reducing isolation.
Reduces Stigma: Normalises discussions about mental health from an early age, helping children understand that everyone has feelings and that it's good to talk about them.
Builds Resilience: Equips children with the early tools to communicate their needs and seek support when experiencing difficult emotions.
Engaging 'Time to Talk' Activities for EYFS & KS1 (0-7 Year Olds)
Make Time to Talk Day a truly open and supportive experience with these planning ideas and activities perfect for EYFS and KS1 children. The focus is on encouraging communication, understanding emotions, and building connections! Many of these early years and year 1 activities can be supported by our extensive 'Mental Health' resources.
Here's some inspiration for fostering open dialogue in your setting: (Please use your own discretion and knowledge of your children to ensure appropriateness of each activity and safety concerning any materials given and activity undertaken.)
Daily Feeling Check-in: Begin each day with a 'How are you feeling today?' circle time. Use 'Emotions - 'Emotion Of The Day' - Display (Large)' and 'Emotions - 'I Am Feeling...' - Emoji Cards' to help children articulate their emotions. Encourage them to explain why they feel a certain way.
Story Time About Feelings: Read stories that explicitly deal with different emotions or characters overcoming challenges. Discuss how characters feel and what they do. Afterwards, use 'Emotions - 'This Story Makes Me Feel...' - Mark Making' to encourage children to reflect on their own feelings about the story.
"Why is Teddy Feeling...?" Activities: Use 'Emotions - 'Why Is Teddy Sad?' Activity Pack' and 'Emotions - 'Why Is Teddy Happy?' Activity Pack' to explore different scenarios and the emotions they evoke, prompting discussions about cause and effect.
"Let's Talk About It" Prompts: Display 'Emotions - 'What Happens When You Feel...' - Prompt Cards' to spark discussions about various emotions and healthy ways to respond to them.
Connecting with Each Other:
Use 'Let's Connect - With Each Other - Activity Prompt Poster' and 'Let's Connect - With Each Other - Activity Prompt Cards' to inspire conversations and shared activities. This could involve "chatting pairs" or "tell a friend about..." activities.
Emphasise kindness as a way to support others. Use 'Let's Show Kindness - Activity Prompt Poster' and 'Let's Show Kindness - Activity Prompt Cards'.
Mood Boosting Activities: Discuss what makes us feel good. Use 'Mental Health - Mood Booster Activity Cards' to generate ideas for positive actions (e.g., listening to music, playing outside).
Music and Emotions: Play different genres of music and discuss how they make children feel. Use ''This Music Makes Me Feel...' various resources.
Mindfulness Moments: Introduce short mindfulness exercises to help children connect with their breath and calm their minds. Use 'Mindfulness - Activity Prompt Poster', 'Mindfulness - Activity Cards', 'Mindfulness Walks Poster', and 'Mindfulness Walk Cards'. Free samples like 'Beach - Mindfulness Scavenger Hunt Sheets' and 'Woodland Wildlife - Mindfulness Scavenger Hunt Prompt Cards' also encourage calm observation.
Physical Activity & Wellbeing: Discuss how moving our bodies can help us feel better. Use 'Let's - Get Moving - Activity Prompt Poster' and 'Let's - Get Moving - Activity Prompt Cards'. Other resources like 'Exercises - A4 Cards' or 'Dinosaur Activity/Movement Challenge - Cartoon' can inspire active play.
Role Play for Caring: Set up a 'Doctors Surgery Role-Play Packā or use 'Poorly Teddy - A4 Posters' to encourage children to role-play caring for others, including listening and comforting.
Promote Healthy Habits: Remind children about the importance of sleep and hydration. Use 'Mental Health - 'Sleeping Area' A4 Sign', 'Mental Health - 'Sleep' Banner', 'Mental Health - 'Amount Of Sleep' Poster', and 'Heat Health - 'Drink Some Water' Visual Communication Aid'.
Outdoor Exploration: Connect feelings to nature. 'Garden Birdwatch Mat', 'Minibeast Search Checklist', and 'Science - Activity Pack - Minibeast Hunt' encourage outdoor engagement.
Display Healthy Minds: Reinforce the message with 'Mental Health - 'Healthy Minds' Poster' and 'Mental Health - 'Healthy Minds' Display Pack'.
Explore More: Please visit our 'Mental Health' page for an extensive catalogue of resources.
These activities offer great inspiration for making Time to Talk Day a memorable and impactful experience in your early years and Key Stage One setting, fostering open communication, emotional literacy, empathy, and building a supportive environment for children's mental health.

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be dinosaurs with this set of 8 Dinosaur Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

āSigns of Springā cards. Ideal for use as part of a Spring display to visually highlight the changes that happen following Winter. Cards can also be used as a great stimulus for communication and language. When used as part of a display or offered as part of an invitation to play children may initiate communication to you or other children about the cards in a child led fashion. Alternatively, adult led interaction could include closed or open ended questioning. Younger children may point to familiar objects when prompted e.g. āWhereās the tree?ā and learn new words as you describe to them what is in the picture. As children progress, more ground may be covered such as āWhat colours can you see?ā, āHow many ducklings are there in this picture?ā, āWhich is your favourite card?ā, āWhy do you like this picture the best?ā, āWhat do you think this tree would look like in the Winter?ā, āHave you seen any of these signs of Spring?ā, āWhere?ā, āWhen?ā, āWho were you with?ā, āShall we go outside and see which of them we can find?ā

This display/activity is intended to help the child/children identify their emotions and the experiences that trigger those emotions.
At the start of the day, one emotion is to be highlighted and discussed with the children. The children are then encouraged to tell someone if they think they experience that emotion during the day. The aim is for the children to become more introspective of their emotions, and more perceptive of the emotions of others.
As a group activity the children have the chance to learn from their peerās experiences as well as their own.
Pack includes:
ā¢ Changeable display banner with space for different āEmotion of the dayā cards.
ā¢ Emotion of the day display cards for happy, sad, excited, worried, angry, confused, scared, surprised.
ā¢ Small A6 emotion cards to be placed around the setting as a reminder of the āEmotion of the dayā.

We created this āWhy is Teddy sad?ā pack in order for you to be able to explore with children how sometimes something may feel wrong inside when there are no obvious cuts, bruises, etc.
As well as investigating the feeling of āsadnessā by talking about what might cause us to feel sad and what it actually feels like, this pack could also be a doorway to talking about mental health. It also aids in the mindfulness practice of recognising emotions.
Keywords: feeling, feelings, emotions, emotion/emotional regulation/dysregulation/self-regulation, autism, autistic, mental health, wellness, colouring page/pages/sheet/sheets, empathy, role play, role-play, mindfulness

PLAY - CONNECT - TALK
On this poster are ideas for fun activities that could be undertaken 1:1 with a child in the hopes of fostering a connection that could lead to talk.

The cards can be used as part of an input about emotions and feelings. The intention is that the cards would be held with the image facing the child/children and the prompts facing the adult. The activity should help the child/children think carefully about what each emotion feels like to them when they experience them. For example, when we are happy we may feel like smiling, dancing, laughing, etc. This process aids in the mindfulness practice of recognising emotions.
