About this chart
Eight feelings faces (happy, sad, mad, scared, surprised, tired, excited and proud) with what each one feels like.
What kids practice
Kindergartners learn to name their feelings and to read feelings on other people's faces. Having words for feelings helps kids calm down, ask for help and get along with friends.
Watch for
- Using "mad" or "sad" for every bad feeling. Help them find the exact word.
- Mixing up scared and surprised, which both have big eyes.
- Thinking there is one right way to feel. Different people can feel different things.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full feelings guide for kindergarten.
