Basic Emotion Identification & Mindfulness Coloring Worksheets

With the Basic Emotion Identification & Mindfulness Coloring Worksheets bundle, you can help your young learners develop their emotional intelligence. This bundle has been created specifically for Kindergarten, 1st Grade and 2nd Grade students (ages 5-8).

In total, there are 40 pages of resources created with the latest in developmental psychology, somatic interoception and art therapy techniques. The worksheets allow children to create more specific emotional vocabulary (i.e., using the word "anger" instead of just saying "bad"), create body awareness through mindfulness coloring prompts, and develop their ability to regulate themselves leading to fewer outbursts, lower levels of separation anxiety and fewer disruptions during class time.

Here’s what you receive:

Phase 1: Comprehensive Facilitator Guide (includes theoretical foundation, brain science, strategies for implementation, and a detailed explanation of real-life implementation in a classroom setting)

Phase 2: 10 engaging student worksheets that focus on learning the following core emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger (Volcano), Fear (Scared Snail), Calm, Pride (Peacock), Disgust (Yuck Feeling), Surprise and Wonder, Embarrassment, and Jealousy (Monster). Each worksheet includes somatic check-in exercises, mindfulness based coloring exercises, emotional vocabulary fill-in-the-blank exercises and reflection questions.

Phase 3: Include visuals, pedagogical answer keys and a full implementation framework (includes classroom set-up tips, scaffolding sequence of example activities and printable resources).

These worksheets can be used for morning meeting times, calm-down corners, Guidance/Counseling sessions, SEL blocks and at home with no preparation needed; just print and use!
