Supporting children to understand emotions is an important part of early learning, communication and social development.

Edu-21’s Emotions & Feelings Resources collection brings together engaging educational tools designed to help children recognise feelings, build emotional vocabulary, communicate experiences and develop greater awareness of themselves and others.

The range includes games, books, cards, puzzles, puppets, matching activities and hands-on resources that can be used across childcare centres, kindergartens, primary schools, special education, therapy settings and at home.

Building Emotional Literacy Through Play

Children often learn best when complex ideas are made visual, practical and easy to discuss. Emotions and feelings resources can help educators create opportunities for children to identify facial expressions, name emotions and talk about how different situations may make people feel.

These activities can support:

  • Emotional vocabulary and feelings recognition
  • Communication and self-expression
  • Empathy and perspective-taking
  • Social interaction and relationship skills
  • Confidence in talking about emotions
  • Understanding everyday social situations
  • Problem-solving and discussion

Resources for Social and Emotional Learning

Emotions and feelings activities can be incorporated into everyday classroom routines, group discussions, story time and small-group learning.

Educators may use visual cards to identify emotions, games to explore social situations, puppets for role play or books to introduce conversations about friendships, behaviour, resilience and wellbeing.

These resources can help make social and emotional learning more accessible by giving children concrete examples and opportunities to practise important skills through play.
