A psychological counseling program of the class group was designed for the sixth-grade students in primary school based on the theory of emotional intelligence. The experimental group was performed with 11 times of counseling from 5 subjects. The emotional intelligence levels were pretested for the primary school students in the experimental group and the control group. After counseling, the total score of emotional intelligence and the dimensions of interpersonal relationship and stress management of the experimental group students were significantly higher than those before the counseling. There was no significant difference in the emotional intelligence of the control group before and after the test. In conclusion, the psychological counseling of the class group can improve the emotional intelligence for primary school students.
