About this worksheet

A child who can name a feeling has more choices than a child who can only act one out, which is why naming comes before managing. Each question here tells a very short story out loud and asks the child to point at one of several faces. Nothing is read and nothing is written. The faces are drawn far enough apart to be told apart on a black and white printout, and the wrong options are never a second version of the right one: a page that offers happy and cheerful is a trick, not a question. The stretch questions change one thing about the story and ask again, or ask how somebody else in the story feels, which is harder and more useful than a fourth face. Talk about the answer afterward. Say what happened, then say the feeling word, then ask what the person might do next. Feelings themselves are never wrong here; only actions have limits, and that difference is worth saying out loud to a four-year-old.

What your child will learn

  • Match a short spoken situation to one face
  • Tell a strong feeling from a calm one on a printed page
  • Name how somebody else in the story feels, not only yourself
  • Notice that a feeling changes when the situation changes

Worked example

Read aloud: Mia packed her whole lunch by herself, with nobody helping. Point to the face that shows how Mia feels. The child hears finished it alone, looks at the faces, and points to the proud one. The evidence is in the story, not in the picture's mouth.

Common mistake

Pointing at the face the child likes looking at, rather than the one the story supports. Reread the story slowly and ask what happened first.

Helpful hint

Say what happened in the story, then find the face that fits it.
