Emotions Fan

If children learn to understand and recognise emotions both in themselves and others, learning to to identify and label them then this can ensure they will be better equipped to manage and regulate themselves when they experience strong emotions. If children are able to notice how they are feeling and then use strategies to calm themselves down then they are more likely to have successful friendships and to be able to manage set backs.

These fans each contain a different emotion face and word. They can be used for activities and teaching about emotions or alternatively can be used to support non verbal children to express their emotions.

There are 15 fan pieces with the following emotions included: happy, sad, scared, tired, worried, excited, angry, disappointed, silly, jealous, confused, poorly, disgusted, surprised and embarrassed.
