Express How You Feel Answer Key

This worksheet teaches students to label their emotions by filling in blanks with words from a feelings word bank. Each sentence describes a simple real-life situation, such as succeeding at a task, waiting for a turn, or feeling scared at night. Students must choose the emotion that best matches how someone might feel, promoting emotional awareness and vocabulary development. By identifying their own feelings more accurately, learners improve self-expression and strengthen communication skills. This activity also lays the foundation for recognizing emotional triggers and choosing appropriate coping strategies. It supports early SEL development in a simple, accessible way.
