Feelings worksheets and emotional literacy resources

A feelings chart offers words or pictures to choose from; a feelings check-in worksheet asks about the present moment. Emotions worksheets may explore a situation in more detail. Choose the format by the task instead of expecting one page to do everything. Children can experience more than one feeling, and a drawing of a face does not establish what another person feels. Use examples that leave room for different answers.

Make emotional literacy practice concrete

Begin with a character in a familiar situation: a plan changes, a friend arrives, or a task is difficult. Invite possible feeling words and ask what information supports each idea. Leave room for uncertainty and different answers. For a personal check-in, offer privacy and a way to respond without writing a detailed account.

From a feelings chart to an emotion worksheet

An emotions chart offers words or pictures to choose from; emotional literacy also involves explaining what those words mean in context. After a child chooses a feeling, an adult can invite a description, a drawing or a fictional example. There need not be one correct label. Compare the preview with that purpose in mind: a reference chart and a worksheet requiring a written response place different demands on the learner.
