The How Do You Feel When Worksheets help children identify and express emotions through coloring, drawing , and writing. These 100 visual worksheets feature various social situations, each with a blank face ready to be creatively drawn on. Students look at the scene then illustrate the corresponding emotion on the blank face provided - happy, sad, angry, embarrassed, etc. Coloring in facial expressions boosts emotional literacy as children link situations to feelings. The drawing process also promotes introspection and self-awareness. There are 50 pages with boy faces and 50 with girl faces in both color and black and white. This allows children to choose faces they identify with and provides differentiated options for printing. Teachers can use the versatile worksheets individually or in groups for emotional check-ins, counseling discussions, and social-emotional learning. Students gain skills in understanding causes of emotions, managing reactions, and communicating feelings. The How Do You Feel When Worksheets provide an engaging, multisensory way for children to become more in touch with their emotions and practice expressing themselves through art. Identifying feelings in response to social contexts is an essential life skill these creative pages help foster. Included are 4 different versions of these worksheets each set containing 25 sheets. There are 2 boys versions, one in color and one in black and white and then 2 girl versions. Clipart images courtesy of Kari Bolt.
