Develop Emotional Literacy Using These Feelings Flashcards
Learning to understand the nuances that define each emotional state, as well as being able to read the facial and body cues that indicate these feelings, is a valuable social-emotional skill for children to develop at an early age. The greater the number of specific words that children can use to describe these feelings, the better equipped they are to express these feelings into adulthood.
This set of 12 flashcards has been designed to help students identify and describe the emotional responses that people may experience in different situations. They include photographs of children expressing the followingemotions:
- Happy
- Sad
- Excited
- Angry
- Frustrated
- Nervous
- Scared
- Surprised
- Confused
- Annoyed
- Bored
- Embarrassed

Label and Annotate Activity
Project a flashcard onto your interactive whiteboard. Have the students name the facial and body cues that help identify how each child is feeling. Use a marker to annotate each flashcard, e.g. on the ‘happy’ flashcard, you may add an arrow and an annotation to show that the girl is smiling.
