About this word search
Naming a feeling helps children to understand and manage it, which is why many classrooms use feelings charts. This list goes beyond Happy and Sad to Disappointed, Grateful and Relieved.
Disappointed and Surprised are long and easy to anchor. Words go across, down and diagonally in this fourteen-square grid, never back to front. Shy and Sad are three letters. In love loses its space.
For a circle time follow-up, each child picks a word and describes a moment when they felt that way. Jealous and Ashamed are harder to share, so a teacher's own example helps.
