Emotions & Social Skills Resources for Kids
Help children put words to feelings, talk through situations and practise social skills.
Explore emotions and social skills resources for kids including feelings cards, emotion games, flip charts, friendship activities and conflict-resolution resources. These hands-on tools can provide prompts for conversations about feelings, relationships, everyday situations and different ways to respond.
What Can Children Explore?
What Am I Feeling?
Pictures and emotion words can provide a starting point when a child is finding it difficult to explain what they are feeling. Adults can use the resource as a prompt for discussion rather than expecting the child to find every word independently.
Use Facial Expressions to Start a Conversation
Emotion cards give children visual examples of different feelings and can be used to discuss what someone may be feeling, what clues they notice and what situations could lead to that emotion.
VIEW EMOTION CARDS →Today I Am Feeling...
A simple feelings check-in can create an opportunity for children to identify how they feel and talk about why. The magnetic learning board can be updated and used repeatedly as a discussion tool at home or in an education setting.
VIEW TODAY I AM FEELING →Explore Different Ways to Respond
Emotional-learning games can provide children with examples of situations that may lead to frustration or anger, then open a conversation about different responses they could try.
VIEW BOILING OVER →Friendship, Relationships & Social Skills
Social-emotional resources can also explore what makes a friend, how people interact with one another and what children might do when two people want different things.
Conflict Resolution Is a Social Skill
Conflict activities can give children examples of disagreements to discuss before encountering similar situations in everyday life. They can compare possible responses and talk about how different choices may affect the people involved.
Resources for Older Children Too
Emotional and social learning does not stop in the early years. Resources for older children can explore self-esteem, relationships, emotions and changes that become relevant as children move toward adolescence.
