Help children put names to everyday emotions and link their thoughts, body feelings and actions with this colourful feelings poster and reflection card pack. It offers a practical starting point for emotion check-ins, social-emotional learning activities, counselling conversations and quiet one-to-one support.
Parents, primary teachers, school counsellors and child therapists will find these feelings cards particularly suited to children who need simple visual prompts to talk about emotions. The main “My Feelings” poster names 16 feelings: scared, sad, silly, shy, hurt, excited, frustrated, angry, loved, content, calm, proud, happy, tired, quiet and nervous.
Large printable emotion cards focus on scared, sad, silly, shy, hurt, angry, frustrated and excited. Each card uses an expressive illustrated face alongside the feeling word, making them useful for younger children, children with emerging language, and pupils who find it easier to point to a feeling than explain it straight away.
Reflection prompts for sad, scared, shy and silly follow a clear thoughts, feelings, actions, connections and reflection framework. Children are invited to consider what comes to mind, how their body feels, what they usually do, how thoughts affect behaviour, and what they could think or do differently.
Print the poster for a classroom calm corner, home routine or therapy room, then choose a card as part of a daily emotional check-in. The prompts can support guided discussions, journalling, role play or short counselling sessions by helping children notice the links between feelings, thoughts and behaviour.
