Talking about feelings in everyday learning or reflection can be easier when children have faces, words and simple choices in front of them. Mix and Match Faces is a printable emotions worksheet for kids that helps with recognising facial expressions, naming feelings and building emotional literacy through a quick matching activity.
The Mix and Match Faces Feelings Worksheet for Children is a printable PDF activity designed to support children as they connect facial expressions with common emotion words. In a classroom, counselling session, therapy room or at home, children can draw lines between illustrated faces and feeling words, then use the blank face outlines to draw any emotions that are left over.
The worksheet includes the feelings happy, sad, worried, angry, scared, disappointed, jealous, confused and shy, making it useful for social emotional learning, feelings identification, emotions vocabulary and facial expression recognition. The simple format can be used as a starter activity, a calm reflection task, a one-to-one discussion prompt, or part of a wider lesson about naming and understanding emotions.
Teachers, parents, school counsellors and child therapists can use it for lessons, home learning, wellbeing check-ins, small group activities or printable worksheets within a feelings topic. It can also support display work or planning for pastoral sessions. The blank faces also give children a chance to show emotions in their own way, which can open up gentle conversation about body language, situations and coping choices. Download or print the worksheet to use as a straightforward emotional literacy resource. This resource was created by MyleMarks.com.
