Emotional Regulation & Feelings Flash Cards
Help children understand, express and manage big feelings with these colourful, practical Feeling Cards for Kids created by mental health professionals. Designed for children aged 6–16, this 80-card deck builds emotional vocabulary, emotional awareness and healthy coping skills in a fun, engaging and accessible way.
These therapy-informed feeling cards help children move beyond simply saying “good” or “bad” and instead learn to identify emotions like frustrated, relieved, devastated, delighted, confused and more. Each card includes:
- A definition of the feeling
- Synonyms to expand emotional vocabulary
- A real-life example sentence
- “Feels like” body sensations and behaviours
- “Watch out for” signs when emotions become too intense
- Practical coping and regulation suggestions
The deck includes feelings from the six core emotion families:
- Joy
- Sadness
- Fear
- Anger
- Disgust
- Surprise
Unlike many emotion cards, these use object-based imagery rather than facial expressions, making them more inclusive and easier for many children to interpret.
Perfect for:
- Parents and carers
- Psychologists and counsellors
- Teachers and school wellbeing staff
- Occupational therapists and speech therapists
- Autism and neurodivergent support
- Emotional regulation and social-emotional learning
These cards can be used for daily emotional check-ins, storytelling, feelings charades, journaling, reflection after meltdowns, classroom activities and therapy sessions.
