This is a downloadable resource - once purchased, it will be available for you to download.

This is a huge set of feelings cards and definitions with 171 cards in the pack which print 8 to an A4 page. There is also a page of ideas included which are listed below.

There is a feeling word and a very simple definition. You can use these for introducing vocabulary to children. They are suitable for KS2 to Secondary.

I have included some little cards that you can fold so you can hide the definition if you wish and get the child to guess what it might mean.

These feelings cards are in alphabetical order and there are at least 4 feeling words for each letter except for x y and z

Ideas for feelings cards

  • Pick a bundle of the cards and arrange into alphabetical order
  • Pick out some positive feelings

  • Start a feelings diary and pick out your main feeling for that day. Write it down and explain why you felt that way.
  • Pick a card and draw…. the facial expression, a picture of a time when you felt like that, a comic strip of what happened when you felt like that
