Standards for Feelings and Emotions

These pages support early learning standards connected to naming feelings.

Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines and TEKS

PK4.I.B.2.b: Child uses verbal and nonverbal communication to communicate basic emotions and feelings. Kids name each feeling face.
PK4.I.D.1: Child demonstrates an understanding that others have perspectives and feelings that are similar and/or different from her own. Kids talk about when they feel each way.

Color by Emotion: Winter gives preschool through first grade kids a calm coloring activity that builds the words they need to talk about feelings.

Each space has a small feeling face. Kids look at the face, find that feeling in the key and color the space to match.

Stop and talk about the faces as kids color: “What does this face feel? When do you feel that way?”

How to Use Color by Emotion: Winter

Print the pages.
Talk about the feeling faces in the key.
Kids find a face in the picture.
Kids color the space with the matching color.
Talk about the finished picture and the feelings in it.

Calm Down Corner: Keep a few pages in your calm down area.

Morning Meeting: Talk about one feeling, then color.

Easy Ways to Differentiate These Color by Emotion Pages

Every group has a mix of skills and needs. These simple changes keep the activity familiar while meeting each child where they are.

For Children Who Need More Support:

Name each feeling face together.
Color one feeling at a time.
Use a key with real photos of faces.
Make the face with the child.

For On-Level Practice:

Color the whole page.
Name each feeling.
Match every face to the key.
Share a time they felt one feeling.

For an Extra Challenge:

Write the feeling words.
Draw their own feeling face.
Tell a short story about the picture.
Act out each feeling.

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support:

Show each step and give plenty of wait time.
Accept pointing, gestures, AAC or any communication method the child already uses.
Use fewer cards and repeat the same set across several days.
Pair the child with a supportive partner.
