How They Feel

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a series of cartoon characters, each displaying a distinct facial expression or body language that suggests a particular emotion. Students are instructed to identify how each character feels by circling the correct answer from a choice of three emotions listed next to each character. The emotions range from ‘sick’, ‘happy’, and ‘sleepy’ to ‘angry’, ‘fine’, and ‘sad’. The visual format invites engagement with the content, aiming to help children recognize and label different emotions.

The purpose of the worksheet is to enhance the students’ ability to interpret and understand emotional expressions, a critical aspect of receptive language and emotional intelligence. It teaches students to observe subtle cues in facial expressions and body language to discern how someone is feeling. This activity also encourages empathy by asking children to put themselves in another’s shoes to understand their emotional state. Moreover, it helps in vocabulary development by associating words with corresponding emotional states.
