Summer is in full swing. While we can sometimes think of summer as a more carefree time for kids, it can also be full of mixed emotions. Some children struggle with the lack of routine while others thrive in it. Events such as family gatherings or camping trips bring with them their own joys and challenges too.

These worksheets are a great tool to help your child practise skills related to their emotions. Increasing a child’s emotional vocabulary is a step towards increasing empathy and emotional regulation.

It is not uncommon for students to have mixed feelings about summer break coming up, but this year, that is particularly true. These free printable May emotions worksheets can help them to sort through those feelings. They can also help them to realize that it’s okay to feel all of them.

Most children this year didn’t get the closure of their school year ending the regular way. They may feel disappointed about things such as vacations or summer camps being cancelled. They may worry that summer won’t feel much like summer since they’ve already been home for weeks or months. 

I know that some of my kids are struggling with big emotions about not being able to go on our usual summer family camping trip and uncertainty about the upcoming school year. 

Simple activities that focus on emotions help kids to learn the vocabulary as well as to get used to talking about their own emotions. 

The printable emotions copywork pages help kids practise their printing while at the same time, associating the emotion word with the appropriate facial expression.

The My Feelings Log for this month helps kids put a name to the feelings they are experiencing. This is the first step in learning to manage those feelings. It is so important.
