Activity to identify emotions: Guess the face?

September is back and with it we announce a new children’s exercise. Specifically, Guess the face, an activity to identify emotions.

What does it involve?

This is a worksheet in which a situation is presented with one or more characters and one of them has their face covered. The aim is for the child to identify which emotion that character expresses and to point it out among the displayed emoticon options.

In this case we have decided to work with emoticons, rather than real faces, to simplify and emphasize the characteristic features of each feeling, sensation and emotion. Obviously, this should later be transferred to real life with other worksheets such as What is the best thing to do?

Here’s an example of the activity:
