Emojis, often used in everyday communication, may serve as a visual aid to simplify the process of learning different emotions and make it more relatable for young people. They are now being used in worksheets to express, identify, and even understand different emotions.
The Emoji Worksheets are a 7-page activity featuring 24 different emotions compiled to help young people identify what they can do when they feel a certain way. Each emotion comes with strategies to help a child manage it better. They can also add their own coping skills in the blank spaces as they discover what works best for them.
Completing these worksheets gives young people valuable ideas on how to deal with their emotions and expand their awareness. These worksheets pair well with our Feelings List & Wheel Bundle to further enhance their learning experience.
Parents and teachers can set aside time for children to complete the activity and guide them through the process. To increase engagement, they can encourage them to share their thoughts on the strategies they’ve identified.
