About this word search

Some of these words sit close together and are worth pulling apart. Nervous comes before something happens, Relieved comes after it goes well, and Disappointed comes after it does not. Talking through pairs like that helps children say what they mean.

Words on this fourteen-row grid read forward, across, down or on a slant. INLOVE is printed as one word, which can make it hard to recognize. Content is a tricky one too, since kids may know it as what is inside a box rather than a feeling.

In a social-emotional learning lesson, students can pick a word from the list and draw a face to match it, then swap drawings and guess each other's feeling.

Ways to use this word search

  • In the classroom

    Print it as a task for early finishers, or to open a lesson on this topic. With the QR code on the sheet, students check their own answers.

  • At home and on the go

    Pack a few printed sheets for the car, the train or a family vacation. A pen is all you need, no screen required.

  • Play together

    Print the sheet twice and race each other. Whoever finds all the words first wins. Or play it online and see who is fastest.
