Emotional Scenarios Assessment Worksheet

Use the scenarios to practise noticing emotions, showing empathy and choosing safe, helpful responses. There can be more than one helpful answer. You may pass on any question that feels too personal.

The lunchtime mix-up

At lunchtime, Hamish sees Cooper sitting by himself near the oval. Cooper’s soccer team has just lost a close game. Hamish asks, “Would you like company?” Cooper says, “Not right now.” Hamish replies, “That’s okay. I’ll be nearby if you change your mind.” A few minutes later, Cooper tells Hamish he feels disappointed and embarrassed because he missed the last goal. Hamish listens without interrupting and asks whether he would like to talk or do something else.

1.Which emotion is Cooper most clearly describing after the game?

Pride and excitement
Disappointment and embarrassment
Boredom and calm
Anger at Hamish

2.Name two clues from the scenario that help you understand how Cooper might be feeling.

3.What does Hamish do that shows empathy? Give two examples.

4.Cooper says he does not want company at first. What is the most respectful response?

Keep asking until he agrees
Tell him he should not feel disappointed
Respect his choice and let him know you are available
Walk away angrily

Choose a helpful next step

Read each situation and think about what a person could say or do. Helpful responses are kind, safe and respectful; they do not need to solve everything straight away.

5.At training, Aria is worried about trying a new activity while others watch. Write one supportive thing a teammate could say, and one practical way to help.

6.A friend looks upset but says, “I’m fine.” Which response is best?

Say, “You don’t look fine, so tell me now”
Say, “Okay. I’m here if you want to talk,” and check in later
Tell everyone else what you think is wrong
Make a joke about the friend

7.True or false: People can show the same emotion in different ways, so it is helpful to ask kindly rather than guess.

8.Put these steps in a sensible order for supporting an upset friend: listen; ask if they want help; notice something may be wrong; respect their answer.

9.When might you need help from a trusted adult instead of handling a situation on your own? Give one example.

10.Choose one strategy that can help you manage a strong feeling during a game or activity. Explain how you could use it.

11.Complete the sentence with a respectful, helpful response: “I can see you might be having a tough time. Would you like me to…”
