The Feelings and Emotions Chart printable is a great tool to help support your kids’ emotional development. This easy-to-use printable resource helps children identify, understand, and express their feelings in a healthy way.

What Kids Learn:      
With this chart, children build emotional awareness by learning to name their feelings and recognize how those emotions change throughout the day. By regularly checking in with their emotions, kids develop greater self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills – key components of social-emotional learning (SEL).

  • Kids can identify emotions by pointing to or writing down how they are feeling – happy, sad, frustrated, excited, and more.
  • Introduce new feeling words and help children better express what is going on inside.
  • Use the chart to encourage reflection and explore what triggers different emotions and how to manage them.

How to Use the Feelings and Emotions Chart:

Educators and caregivers can use this emotional check-in chart to support mental health and emotional growth in a variety of ways:

In the classroom:

  • Use it for morning check-ins or as part of your cozy spot.
  • Encourage emotional awareness through self-reflection.
  • Integrate it into social-emotional learning activities and behavior support plans.

At home:

  • Start the day or end the night with a quick feelings check-in.
  • Help your kids express themselves during tough moments.
  • Pair it with storytelling to explore emotions creatively.
