Product description
From the author
This Draw Emotion Faces Worksheet provides nine blank face outlines labeled happy, sad, angry, surprised, excited, shy, worried, frustrated and scared.
Invite students to draw possible expressions and discuss situations associated with the feelings. Accept variation rather than treating one expression as the only correct response.
The two-page PDF contains one worksheet and credits. Clipart images courtesy of Kari Bolt Clipart.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify nine distinct emotions by name and represent each with an appropriate facial expression
Teaching tips
Use as a quick SEL warm-up or morning check-in activity, since the format covers nine emotions on a single page.
Pair with a discussion of situations that might cause each emotion, since the page names the feeling but does not provide context or a scenario.
Accept different drawings and discuss context: people can show the same feeling in different ways, and a face alone does not prove what someone feels.
Skills covered
Emotion-to-expression mapping — students draw a facial expression that matches a given emotion word across nine distinct feelings.
