All About Feeling Scared Workbook – Item 770

All About Feeling Scared is a printable, child-friendly workbook designed to help children aged 5–7 (and those with additional needs) explore, understand, and manage the feeling of fear. Through simple, engaging, and highly visual activities, children learn to recognise what being scared looks like on the face, how it feels in the body, and the different ways fear, worry, and anxious thoughts can appear in their minds and behaviours.

This workbook uses drawing-based tasks, colouring exercises, and gentle prompts to encourage reflection and discussion without the need for lots of writing. Children are guided to think about situations that may make them feel scared or worried, notice anxious thoughts that can come with fear, and recognise these feelings in themselves and others. Its clear, structured approach makes it especially suitable for SEN learners, helping children build confidence and understanding at an accessible level.

A key feature of the workbook is the “Scared Toolbox,” which introduces simple, practical strategies for coping with fear, calming anxious thoughts, and feeling safer in challenging situations. By linking facial expressions, body sensations, thoughts, and behaviours, the workbook helps children develop emotional awareness and early emotional literacy skills in a calm, supportive, and child-friendly way.

The workbook concludes with a colourful, child-friendly certificate, celebrating the child’s achievement in exploring and understanding fear, worry, and anxiety. This final page adds a sense of accomplishment and encourages children to feel proud of their emotional learning.

Ideal for use in classrooms, nurture groups, ELSA sessions, or at home, this resource provides a gentle and effective way to help children explore fear, manage worries, and build confidence in recognising and coping with anxious feelings.

There is a cover sheet, 11 additional pages and adult instructions included in this download.
