Adjectives Describe Feelings Worksheet

Each prompt combines a short situation with a visual cue and asks learners to choose an adjective describing how someone feels. The shared word bank requires attention to emotional nuance and sentence context rather than simply naming a facial expression. Students write the selected word into the sentence, then teachers can use the second page to review the intended choices.
