Feelings Worksheets

What is in this worksheet set

The set includes age-appropriate activities about recognising and talking about feelings. Younger children can match faces to simple emotion words, colour feeling pictures and point to how they feel. Older children can write about triggers, body clues, helpful responses and times when feelings changed. The pages use familiar situations such as sharing, waiting, making a mistake, losing a game or meeting someone new. Children do not need to write long answers. Drawing, circling, matching and short sentences give each child a way to take part.

Using the pages at home or in class

Choose one page that matches what your child is ready to do, rather than asking them to finish the whole set at once. At home, talk about a feeling after a story, a disagreement or a busy day, then complete a related activity together. In class, use a page during circle time, as a quiet task or after a classroom situation that needs discussion. Let children share only what they wish to share. Pair the worksheets with Calm Down Cards when a child needs ideas for a calm response.

Helping children understand their feelings

Children often use one word, such as happy or sad, for many different experiences. They may also say they are angry when they are tired, worried, disappointed or finding a task hard. Help by offering a few possible words without telling them what they must feel. You could say, "Could it be disappointed, worried or frustrated?" First acknowledge the feeling, then talk about what happened and what might help. Keep the focus on naming and expressing feelings safely, not on getting every answer right.
