PSHE - Emotion Story Sorting

Support children’s emotional development with this engaging Emotions Scenario Sorting Activity! Designed for EYFS, KS1 and SEND learners, this hands on PSHE resource encourages children to read and sort real life scenarios into six key emotions: happy, sad, angry, fear, surprise, and disgust. Children explore everyday situations and discuss how different events might make someone feel, helping to develop emotional awareness, empathy, and communication skills.
