Free Printable Feelings Chart Bundle for Kids

Feelings—what they are and how to manage them—are arguably one of the most important things for young kids to learn. Students need to learn feelings like everything else we teach them, with examples and practice. Having a feelings chart helps students identify and name their emotions as they experience them, or as they’re learning how to manage the feelings that they have throughout the day.

What kinds of feelings charts are included?

Each feelings chart for kids has illustrations of faces or emojis for each feeling and a word underneath. The faces help students identify how they’re feeling. We’ve designed a basic chart plus three other versions to help students work with feelings.

Below are the different printables included in the bundle and how to use each.

All the feelings

This chart has all the main feelings. Use it to help kids identify basic feelings. This is a great one to incorporate into morning meeting. Students can point to the face that shows what they are feeling to share or talk about why.

Today I am feeling …

This chart allows students to select how they’re feeling each day or if it changes during the day. It’s important for kids to know that feelings can change, and often!

Focused feelings

Use this chart to give students a smaller, simpler number of choices for how they feel. Print, cut, and laminate a chart for each student in your class so they can choose how they feel. This option is helpful for students who need to monitor their feelings, especially if they need to be more aware of when they are becoming frustrated or angry. It’s also helpful for students who are working on understanding and identifying a specific range of feelings.

Feelings vocabulary

This tool is for older kids who can identify a main feeling and then want to find the perfect word to describe their feeling. They’re identifying feelings and expanding their vocabulary.

How To Use the Feelings Chart Bundle

A feelings chart can be a part of your daily routine. Print and laminate a few copies of these feeling charts so you can:

Pass a feelings chart around during morning meeting. Students can look at a list of feelings and choose how they feel that day.
Use a chart during reading groups. Students can use the chart to infer how the character in their book feels.
As students write, have them refer to the chart to get specific with their words. Were they sad, worried, or frustrated? Is their character feeling silly or excited?
Play “Feelings Simon Says.” Assign one student to lead the game. They hold a chart and read off feelings for others to act out, but only when they hear “Simon Says.”
Post charts in every corner of your room so students can refer to them at different points during the day. Ask them to think about how they’re feeling when they end up next to a chart throughout the day.
Print, cut out, and laminate multiple copies of each feeling. Put a piece of Velcro on the back. Students can choose their feeling and attach it to a feelings chart or tracker.
