Pin

These feelings activities include visual aids that can be made into a file folder. The activities help kids learn to identify and check in with their emotions on a daily basis. They’re suitable for kids in pre-k, preschool, kindergarten or children with special needs.

Feelings Activities

Daily Check in File Folder

Preparation – Begin by printing and laminating the resources for added durability. Next cut out the cards and attach them to the charts with velcro. Finally secure the feelings and daily check in chart inside the folder.

Tip – You can use the sticky dots or buy Velcro as a long roll which often works out cheaper. I usually buy a roll of hook tape and loop tape from a craft or hardware store. Then I cut the tape into squares.

I’ve made a few options for the “Today I feel” daily check in mats. You can choose the ones you like most from a variety of culturally diverse clip art.

File Folder Charts

I’ve created two charts and each one has eight emotions. You can put both of them inside the folder and keep the daily check in mat separate. Otherwise choose the first one with the basic emotions to put inside the folder (happy, sad, scared etc.)
