Feelings Conversation Cards | 16 Sentence Starters for Speaking

I made these Feelings Conversation Cards for simple speaking activities about feelings and emotions.

Each card gives students an easy sentence to continue, so even quieter learners usually have something they can say. The prompts are open enough for different answers, but still simple for different ages and levels.

Some examples of how the cards can be used:

• I’m happy when …
“…when I have my birthday.”
“…when I get what I want.”

• I’m tired when …
“…when I go to bed late.”
“…when I work too much.”

I mostly use cards like these for pair work, warm-up discussions, morning meetings, and small speaking groups. They also work well as quiet conversation prompts during SEL lessons.

What’s inside:
• 16 conversation cards
• 5 printable pages
• card backs included

Just print the pages, cut the cards, laminate them if you’d like to use them more than once and they’re ready to use.

The illustrations and soft colors were designed to keep the activity calm and welcoming, especially for students who may need a little more time or confidence to share their thoughts.
