Mood faces -helpful when mentoring/pastoral issues

This worksheet has faces which display different moods. I have used it with students who I have dealt with on a pastoral level. Ask students to circle faces to help explain how they are feeling when you meet with them. This should not really be used as a group task as students would feel quite exposed. Instead, use it on a one to one basis with students who sometimes might struggle to voice their problems. It won't work miracles but it might just allow you to open out a discussion. It works particularly well with students who have English as a second language or have speech difficulties.
