About this word search
Content is a quiet word that children rarely use, though they know the feeling well: the calm after a good meal or a long swim. Jealous and Relieved are other feelings that are easy to experience and hard to explain, and having the right word helps.
Feelings in this grid lie across, stand down or tilt diagonally, and none is spelt back to front. Disappointed is the longest and has a double P. Sad and Shy are short and can hide easily, so look for them last.
After the puzzle, ask each child to pick one word and describe a time they felt that way.
