Eighteen feelings cards with a picture, a feeling word and a talk question on each card. Part of our emotion vocabulary emotions collection.
How do I use this resource?
Cut the cards apart and keep them in a small box for morning meeting. Pull one card, read the question and let two or three children answer. They also work as a check-in tool: a child can point to a card when the words are hard to find. At home, pick a card at dinner and everyone shares an answer. Quick tip: act out the face on the card first, then name it.

Can I use the Feelings Word Cards at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten emotions, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten emotion vocabulary resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are emotion vocabulary resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten students, roughly ages 5-6. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these emotion vocabulary resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
