When a child feels worried but finds it hard to explain what is going on, this printable anxiety worksheet gives them a simple way to draw and write about their feelings. It is suited to primary-aged children in counselling, therapy, school wellbeing support, or at home with a trusted adult.
This anxiety worksheet for children is designed to help a child pause, notice their worried feelings, and begin putting those feelings into words or pictures. Emotional awareness is the main focus of the one-page activity, which includes a large blank drawing box, lined writing space, and a gentle follow-up prompt asking what the child or other people can do to help them feel better.
It can be used as a feelings check-in at the start of a counselling session, as part of school wellbeing support, or as a calm home learning activity with a trusted adult. The simple layout may suit primary-aged children who find it easier to draw first and talk afterwards. It can also support discussions about worries, body signals, coping strategies, reassurance, and ways to ask for help.
Professionals and carers might use this printable anxiety activity alongside worksheets on emotions, worry management, social emotional learning, or coping skills. It is also suitable for classroom wellbeing folders, pastoral support resources, therapy sessions, and individual check-ins where a child needs a quiet, structured way to share what is happening for them. The page can be viewed, downloaded, printed, and used whenever a child needs support naming anxious thoughts and identifying next steps. Illustration is credited to Sarah Pecorino.
