These colourful and engaging sheets offer children a chance to stop and think about how they are feeling. The first question asks them to identify an emotion they are feeling and is followed by having to identify what it looks like on a face. For those children that are learning to read emotional and social cues this can be invaluable training. For those learning to recognise emotional triggers, using these sheets daily as a morning task can support their growing awareness of themselves and their feelings. The sheets come in a multitude of genders, skins colours and hair styles so that you can find a fit for the child you are working with. A simple but really effective resource supporting our primary aged children as they try to make sense of themselves and the world around them.
