Emotion Identification Worksheet

Read each situation carefully. Emotions can be mixed, and different people may feel differently in the same situation. There are no wrong answers when you describe your own feelings; for scenario questions, use clues from the situation. You may pass on any personal reflection.

Notice the clues

Emotions can show up in thoughts, body signals and actions. Naming an emotion can help us decide what support or next step might be useful.

1.Arjun practises her speech, but just before presenting she notices her heart beating quickly and thinks, “What if I forget my words?” Which emotion is the clearest fit for this moment?

Worried
Proud
Bored
Relaxed

2.After finishing a tricky model, Chloe smiles, sits taller and wants to show his family what he made. Which emotion might these clues suggest?

3.Sienna is moving to a new town. She is looking forward to exploring, but will miss her friends. Name two emotions she might feel at the same time.

Think it through

Use the situations below to practise identifying feelings without judging them as good or bad. An emotion is a clue, not an excuse to hurt someone.

4.Match each situation with the emotion that best fits the clues. One answer is used for each situation.

A teammate leaves you out of a game and you feel hurt.
The bus is late and you are unsure whether you will get to the match.
You have waited all week to visit the wildlife park and today is the day.
Your carefully built tower falls just before you finish.

Excited
Disappointed
Frustrated
Worried

5.If two people experience the same event, they must feel exactly the same emotion.

6.Kai feels angry after a disagreement during a game. What is the most helpful first step before deciding what to say?

Pause, take a few steady breaths and notice what he is feeling
Send an unkind message straight away
Pretend he feels nothing and keep arguing
Blame the other person for everything

7.When I notice an emotion, I can name it and then choose a response.

Try a response

You do not have to share private experiences. Use the fictional scenario for the next questions, or write about a made-up example.

8.Layla has practised for a swimming race. When the starter calls his group, his hands feel sweaty and he keeps thinking about coming last. Name one possible emotion and one clue that supports your answer.

9.For Layla in Question 8, write one safe, practical action he could try and one person he could talk to if the worry feels too big.

10.Fill in both blanks: All emotions are to experience. If a feeling is strong or lasts a long time, I can ask a trusted for support.

11.Choose one emotion from this worksheet. Write one body or thought clue that could help someone notice it, and one kind, safe action they could take.
