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 printables show large blank faces with an emotion word for children to draw how they are feeling and then space to write the corresponding emotion underneath. These can be used as a one off worksheet that children can draw and color in or they can be laminated to be used again and again with dry wipe pens.
