About this resource

Twenty-five emotion words — including amused, mind-blown, embarrassed, and nauseated — fill a 5x5 bingo grid used to play an emotions-recognition matching game. The set pairs printable bingo boards with a teacher call card listing every emotion word for calling out during play, plus cut-out flash cards bearing the same words to use as call pieces or a separate matching activity. The game relies on students recognizing and matching emotion vocabulary rather than reading definitions or scenarios. It suits a social-emotional learning circle or centre activity where students build feeling-word vocabulary through repeated play.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Recognize and name a range of emotion vocabulary words (e.g., amused, mind-blown, embarrassed, nauseated) during a bingo-style matching game.
Listen for a called emotion word and match it to the correct square on a bingo board.

Teaching tips

Use the teacher call card to randomly call emotion words, since it lists all 25 in one place.
Pre-teach unfamiliar words (e.g., "mind-blown," "unamused," "nauseated") before play, since vocabulary difficulty varies widely across the grid.
Use the cut-out flash cards for a separate matching or vocabulary-review activity outside of full bingo play.

Skills covered

Emotion vocabulary recognition — students identify 25 named feelings (e.g., amused, furious, embarrassed) on a bingo grid as they are called.
Listening and matching — students listen for a called emotion word and locate the matching square on their board.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

The board includes both "Amused" and "Unamused" as separate emotion words — how can students tell them apart quickly during play?

The file does not explain the distinction directly; a teacher would need to briefly define each term before play since the words look similar but describe near-opposite feelings.
