Our Emotion Cards

Choose which feelings go in the deck, print, cut them out, and you have a real set of emotion cards for the table.

Which feelings go in the deck?

No cards chosen yet

What do you do with the deck?

  • Draw a card and tell about a time you felt that way
  • At the end of the day, pick the card that fits today best
  • Sort the cards from nicest to least nice, and discover you disagree
  • Hide a card and guess it from the face someone makes
  • Leave a few on the fridge, so there is something to point at when words are hard

Tip for parents: The strength of the cards is precisely that they are not on a screen. A card you can hold, hand to someone, or turn face down does something a screen does not, especially for children who find talking about feelings hard.
