The Emotions Art & Language Charts Pack – Emotional Literacy and Feelings Identification Resource is a practical educational tool designed to support children in recognising, understanding and expressing emotions. Created to build emotional literacy through visual learning, language development and creative exploration, this chart pack helps children make meaningful connections between facial expressions, emotional vocabulary, environmental cues and artistic representation.

The Emotions Art & Language Charts Pack – Emotional Literacy and Feelings Identification Resource includes 15 individual emotion charts and 1 overview card, with each chart focusing on a specific emotion shown on a child’s face. Emotions explored include surprised, sad, happy, frustrated, love, proud, disgusted, excited, afraid, angry, confused, pensive, worried, bored and shame. Each emotion is unpacked through visual expression, language cues including synonyms and antonyms, examples of how emotions may appear in the environment, and artistic elements such as colour, line and a child’s artwork.

This layered approach makes the Emotions Art & Language Charts Pack – Emotional Literacy and Feelings Identification Resource particularly valuable for children who benefit from visual supports, structured emotional language, explicit teaching of social-emotional concepts and multimodal learning. By linking feelings with facial expressions, descriptive words and visual art concepts, the charts help make emotions more concrete, easier to recognise and more accessible to discuss.

In therapy and allied health settings, the Emotions Art & Language Charts Pack – Emotional Literacy and Feelings Identification Resource can be used to support emotional regulation work, social communication, self-awareness, counselling, language development and mental health support. In classrooms and early learning settings, the charts can be incorporated into wellbeing programs, calm corners, SEL lessons, visual supports, literacy activities and group discussions about emotions and relationships. At home, they provide families and carers with a practical way to build emotional vocabulary, support co-regulation and create more meaningful conversations about feelings.

Whether used with NDIS participants, neurodivergent children, children working on communication goals, or learners building social-emotional understanding, the Emotions Art & Language Charts Pack – Emotional Literacy and Feelings Identification Resource supports participation, self-expression, emotional understanding and quality of life through accessible visual and language-based learning.
