About this resource

Twenty-four feelings and emotions vocabulary words — including happy, sad, angry, scared, proud, jealous, and calm — label individual colouring pages, pairing an emotion word with an illustration for students to colour in. The word list favors more nuanced social-emotional vocabulary, such as 'disappointed,' 'offended,' and 'confident,' alongside basic emotions like happy and sad, suggesting the set aims to build a broader feelings vocabulary rather than only the most common terms. One page label is misspelled as 'EMBARRESSED' rather than the correct 'embarrassed.' For a version that groups this same feelings vocabulary into broader categories with related synonyms, a feeling words anchor chart pairs a completed reference with a fill-in-the-blank version for classroom display.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Build feelings and emotions vocabulary by naming 24 distinct emotional states, from basic terms (happy, sad, angry) to more nuanced ones (disappointed, offended, confident).

Teaching tips

Use this set to introduce or reinforce nuanced feelings vocabulary beyond the basics, since words like 'offended,' 'disgusted,' and 'confident' go further than a typical happy/sad/mad starter list.
Pair each colouring page with a brief discussion or writing prompt about a time the student felt that emotion, since the page itself provides only the vocabulary word.
Preview the page labeled 'EMBARRESSED' before use, since the word is misspelled on the page (it should read 'embarrassed').

Skills covered

Emotion vocabulary recognition — students associate 24 feelings words, from basic to nuanced, with an illustrated colouring page.
Colouring / fine motor practice — students colour the illustration on each emotion-labeled page.
