Free Emotion Charts for Children
Emotion charts help young children build the vocabulary they need to identify and name what they are feeling, which research shows measurably reduces the intensity and duration of emotional outbursts.
What Is Available
A basic feelings chart with illustrated faces covering core emotions, happy, sad, angry, scared, and frustrated, suitable for children aged 2 to 6. An expanded emotion wheel introducing more nuanced feelings, disappointed, proud, worried, and excited, for school-age children.
How to Use Them Effectively
Place at child height in a common area and refer to it throughout ordinary days, not only during difficult moments. Point to how you are feeling yourself periodically, modelling the practice of naming emotions openly.
