Naming emotions can be hard. Most students (and adults!) have a limited emotional vocabulary. By extending and expanding their emotional vocabulary, students can put a name to emotions more easily and explore how they feel in a healthy way. This resource includes a detailed lesson plan, a PowerPoint (with examples and video) and printables. Lesson is designed for 1 hour but the activity can be repeated regularly as an emotion check in with students.

A wide range of printable cards in 2 different sizes, large and small. There is one set of cards with star-shaped emotion faces (large and small) with no text. There is one set of cards with round emotion faces: the large and small cards have the relevant emotion name. There is an additional small set of cards with no text. The larger cards are perfect to use for a classroom display to constantly monitor children’s emotions and help them develop and use emotional vocabulary correctly. All sets of cards can be used for PSHE lessons to develop emotional literacy. Perfect for every stage of development with emotional literacy.
