Matching Emojis with Emotions – SEL Activity teaching resource preview
Emotions & self-awareness

Matching Emojis with Emotions – SEL Activity

Thirty numbered emoji icons are matched to their corresponding emotion words in this no-prep worksheet, moving beyond basic feelings like happy and sad into more nuanced vocabulary such as unamused, secretive, mind-blown, and nauseated. Students write the number of the matching emoji beside each word, working down a single-page list without scissors or extra materials. A second page provides a complete numbered answer key, so every one of the thirty matches can be checked without additional guesswork. The wide emotional-vocabulary range makes the activity useful both as an SEL check-in and as a vocabulary-building exercise, since spelled-out feeling words are paired directly with a recognizable image.
