Identifying Feelings and Emotions

Helping children with labeling and identifying feelings and emotions is such an important first step in any SEL curriculum. We know that helping children learn how to identify feelings and emotions will help them be better able to regulate their own responses to strong emotions.

This identifying feelings and emotions resource focuses on helping our young learners be more equipped at identifying feelings and emotions.

What is this feeling called? What does it feel like? What does it look like? What can I do when those strong emotions arise?

These identifying feelings activities have the CASEL SEL COMPETENCIES in mind.
