Ourselves and Our Feelings Flashcards

This resource, linked to “Ourselves, Me, Feelings,” offers a collection of 11 pages of colour flashcards, each containing six pictures of child characters.

Designed for EYFS and KS1, these flashcards can be utilised individually as worksheets, allowing children to cut out the characters and pair them based on matching emotions.

The characters included have varying skin tones, clothing, accessories, and expressions, providing a rich basis for exploring feelings and personal identities.

For extended use, you can cut and laminate the individual characters from all 11 pages, enabling children to sort them in multiple ways e.g. by hairstyle, hair colour, skin tones, expressions, and feelings such as happy, sad, or annoyed.

This flexibility enhances emotional recognition and understanding but also fosters discussions on diversity in the classroom.

The final page shows 6 outlines of characters for children to add their own features and emotions to.
