Homeschooling

Fall is in full swing where I live. In fact, there is a frost warning for tonight. No more denying that summer is over. But fall is full of great consolation prizes like colourful leaves, crisp fresh air, and candy corn! 

I like candy corn so I thought they would be the perfect visual to help kids talk about their emotions this October. This month’s free emotions printables include copywork pages, sheets to consider thoughts on trick or treating, and a feelings log.

Now I know that trick or treating is something that may be up in the air this year, so if it’s not happening in your area or your household, you can slip the word “not” in there and allow kids to express how they feel about not trick or treating this year.

If you want sheets to be reusable, laminate the pages or simply slip them into a plastic page protector. Students can then use a dry erase marker to do the tracing and writing themselves. Or they can write directly on the pages with a pen, pencil, marker, or coloured pencils.

Copywork Sentences Instructions for the child:

1. Read the sentence.
2. Fill in the outline.
3. Trace the dotted words.
4. Write the sentence on the lines provided.
5. Discuss the various emotions.

Copying sentences may not seem like it would be impactful, but these sentences do more than simply give a child practise for their penmanship! Copying out sentences about feelings can be a good launching off place for discussions. They help create a culture in your home or classroom where it’s normal to hear about and talk about feelings.

You can also expand this activity by having your child talk about a particular time or situation in their life where they felt that particular emotion and how that was for them.

My Feelings Log Instructions for the child:

This month’s Feeling Logs focus on feelings about going to a new place. This can relate to going to a new school, new classroom, new vacation spot, or any other place that is new for your child. 

These cute popsicle visuals can be a tool to help your child better identify and then work through their own emotions. You can sit down together and have them show you which they have chosen.

Once you see HOW they are feeling that day, you can help them dig into the WHY behind those feelings. Be sure to explain to them that it’s normal to have more than one emotion in the course of a day and that there are no “right” or “wrong” feelings. 

After figuring out what their feelings are and the root of them, you can work together with your child on strategies for better managing how they deal with that emotion.

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.
