“My Feelings Weather Report” Worksheet | Emotional Literacy & Direct Work Tool

My Feelings Weather Report Worksheet Emotional Literacy free pdf Direct Work resourceThe My Feelings Weather Report is a free, printable emotions worksheet designed to help children recognise, understand, and express their feelings in a simple and creative way. Using familiar weather symbols such as sunny, rainy, windy, stormy, rainbow, and frosty, this resource makes it easy for children to link emotions to visual images, supporting emotional literacy, communication, and wellbeing.

Children are invited to colour the weather that best matches how they feel that day and then complete the sentence “I feel that way because…”. This helps them describe emotions, identify triggers, and share their experiences in a safe and engaging way — supporting the voice of the child in both everyday conversations and professional settings.

Why this resource is helpful:

  • Builds emotional awareness and helps kids label their feelings

  • Supports communication and reflection through creative self-expression

  • Encourages children to explain why they feel a certain way

  • Helps adults better understand children’s inner experiences and wellbeing

  • Serves as an easy, visual direct work tool for social workers and therapists

Ideal for use in:

  • Social work visits and direct work sessions – capturing the voice of the child during assessments

  • Schools and classrooms – supporting PSHE, wellbeing, and circle time

  • Therapy and counselling – introducing emotional regulation and coping skills

  • Home use – parents and carers encouraging children to talk about their day and feelings

This downloadable feelings chart for children promotes empathy, reflection, and mental health awareness while making emotional check-ins simple and fun. It can be used regularly as part of emotional regulation activities, social-emotional learning (SEL), or wellbeing toolkits. This is a creative, child-friendly activity to support emotional literacy, direct work, and voice of the child in social work and education.
