Free Feelings Template | Nursery / LKG | Life Skills | BookFlik

Help your class explore their emotions with our beautifully designed Life Skills feelings template eyfs core resource. Understanding and naming emotions is a fundamental part of the Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) area of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. This printable activity is perfect for helping children aged 3 to 5 recognise, label, and express how they are feeling throughout the school day.

In this activity, our friend Pip the bookworm caterpillar joins the children to help them categorise different emotions. By using this Life Skills feelings template eyfs core, children will learn to identify key feelings such as happy, sad, angry, and excited. They will also develop the essential vocabulary to talk about their internal states, which is vital for building empathy and self-regulation skills.

Teachers can use this template during morning registration, circle time, or as part of a calm-down corner activity. It is designed to be highly accessible for children working at the expected standard. The clear, visual format encourages students to draw or write about their day, supporting communication and language development alongside their emotional literacy. This Life Skills feelings template eyfs core aligns with the CBSE / NCERT Curriculum goal of helping children show an understanding of their own feelings and those of others.

To support your lesson, we have included five engaging questions to deepen understanding:

1. Can you point to the face that shows how you feel today?

2. What makes your heart feel happy?

3. If a friend is feeling sad, what kind thing could you do to help?

4. How does your body feel when you are excited?

5. Can you think of a time you felt brave like Leo the lion?

This resource is differentiated for core learners, providing the perfect balance of structure and creative freedom to support every child’s emotional journey in the classroom.
