Emotions Categorisation Worksheet

Read the school radio station scenarios. Identify emotions without judging them as good or bad. More than one emotion may fit a situation, and people can respond differently to the same event.

Emotion categories

Emotions can be grouped in different ways. These categories are a starting point, not rules: an emotion may fit more than one category depending on the person and situation.

1.At the school radio station, Ruben has been looking forward to the first live broadcast. When it goes smoothly, he smiles, sits up straighter and eagerly tells the team how well it went. Which emotion is he most likely feeling?

Excitement
Frustration
Guilt
Boredom

2.Tane's audio file will not play, even after several attempts, and the programme starts in two minutes. Identify one likely emotion and one clue in the scenario that supports your answer.

3.Before speaking on air, Losa wonders whether she will manage to say everything clearly. At the same time, she smiles when she thinks about choosing to volunteer. Name the two emotions these clues suggest and explain why they can happen together.

4.Match each radio-station moment to the emotion it could reasonably trigger. Use each emotion once.

A listener sends a kind message praising the show
The broadcast cuts out during an interview
Ruben realises he gave a guest the wrong time
The team completes a difficult live segment together

Frustration
Pride
Worry
Gratitude

5.Which statement about emotions is most accurate?

There is one correct emotion for every situation.
Emotions are signals that can influence thoughts, body responses and actions.
Feeling worried means a person is weak.
People should hide uncomfortable emotions.

6.Before going live, Tane notices a racing heartbeat and thinks, “I might forget my words.” Give one helpful response he could try, and explain how it might help.

7.The radio team receives critical feedback about a segment. Explain one way two team members might feel differently about the same feedback, and give a reason for the difference.

8.A teammate seems quiet after making a mistake during the broadcast. Choose the most respectful first response.

Tell them they are overreacting.
Ask privately if they would like to talk or have some space.
Share the mistake as a funny story with other students.
Assume they are angry and avoid them for the rest of the day.

9.Complete the sequence for an emotion check-in: name the emotion, notice a body or thought clue, then choose a response. Give one example that could work before a live broadcast.

10.Write a short guide for the radio team explaining why naming emotions can be useful and what someone can do if an emotion feels overwhelming. Include one practical strategy and one way to seek support in Aotearoa New Zealand.
