Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify and name a range of common emotions represented by emoji.

  • Write about a personal experience connected to a specific emotion.

  • Connect a character's emotions in a story to one of the emotion worksheets.

Teaching tips

  • Print on cardstock and laminate for repeated use with dry-erase markers if the pages will be revisited across the year, rather than printing on regular paper for one-time pencil use.

  • Have students complete one or two pages and share aloud rather than assigning the full set in one sitting, especially for students newer to identifying emotions.

  • Use a read-aloud story alongside the pages, asking students to match a character's feelings in the story to the matching emotion worksheet.

Skills covered

  • Emotion identification — students match an emoji to its corresponding emotion word across a wide range of common feelings.

  • Personal narrative writing — students write about a specific time they experienced the featured emotion.

  • Perspective-taking — one suggested use has students connect a story character's feelings to the matching emotion page.
