Helping Little Ones Understand Big Feelings!
Teaching emotions in the early years is key to developing emotional literacy and empathy. Using emotion cards inspired by The Colour Monster, children can explore feelings like happy, calm, worried, or angry — and build a rich vocabulary to express themselves confidently.
**Why it matters: **
When children can name their feelings, they can manage them better — leading to stronger well-being, social skills, and resilience.
This hands-on activity helps children explore their main feelings while learning about the “zones of regulation.” Learners cut out different emotion cards and match them to the correct zone—such as calm, happy, worried, or angry—before sticking or attaching them with Velcro to a visual chart. The interactive format encourages discussion about how emotions feel in the body and what zone they belong to, supporting emotional awareness and self-regulation skills. By physically sorting and placing each feeling, children build a clearer understanding of how their emotions can change and what strategies might help them move between zones.

Draw the Feelings | Zones of Regulation | SEL Resource
Support children’s emotional awareness with these Colour Zone Activity Sheets, designed to help pupils identify and express emotions by drawing facial expressions in each colour zone.
Children draw on the faces to show how emotions look in the Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red Zones, making this resource perfect for discussion, reflection, and self-care activities.

This is a pre-intermediate (CEFR B1, IELTS 5.0) EFL Speaking class about feelings. Students begin the lesson by reading four sentences and describing how they would feel in each situation. Students then look at six images, each of which shows a feeling (lonely, bored, stressed, shy, proud, confident). The pronunciation and form of each word is then drilled. Students then read a short text about a girl called Danielle and her first day at a new job. Students use the target language by confirming their understanding of the text. Two free discussion activities are then completed.
These seven colour monster inspired feeling cards are a great way to assess how the children are feeling throughout the day. It is another great way of getting children to use synonyms for words such as ‘happy’ or ‘sad’. There are seven characters available - can either peg children’s names on or put them in a jar etc.
