This Is How I Look
Worksheet Description
The worksheet titled “This is how I look when I am…” is a creative tool for helping children explore and express emotions through art. The sheet displays line drawings of faces with distinct hairstyles and blank features, alongside labels of different emotions such as “happy,” “sad,” “angry,” “hungry,” “thirsty,” and “sleepy.” Students are prompted to draw eyes, eyebrows, noses, and mouths to represent what someone might look like when experiencing these emotions. This activity aids in developing emotional intelligence by encouraging children to think about how feelings can be visually represented and recognized.
In addition to fostering empathy and self-awareness, the worksheet serves as an art exercise, allowing students to practice their drawing skills in a context that is meaningful and personally relatable. It provides a playful yet educational approach to discussing feelings, which is an important aspect of a child’s social and emotional development. The inclusion of a “Qualification” section with smiley face ratings adds an element of self-assessment, giving children the opportunity to reflect on their own work. This worksheet is particularly useful for teachers and counselors who wish to incorporate emotional learning into their curriculum in an engaging and interactive way.
