The How Is Your Brain Feeling? Poster is a free, printable emotions chart designed to help children recognise, name, and express their feelings and moods in a fun and engaging way. Featuring colourful brain characters, each one representing a different emotion, this visual resource makes it easy for kids to check in with themselves and communicate how they are feeling—even when they don’t have the words.
The poster includes a wide range of emotions such as happy, calm, curious, tired, confused, angry, worried, lonely, proud, creative, relaxed, motivated, and more. By pointing to a brain character, children can share their current mood quickly and visually, helping adults understand their emotional state and respond with support.
