Lay out all the cards and ask a child to choose a mouth and eyes that match – name the emotion. The cards could be used as a matching pairs game. There are so many possibilities for working with this resource. Place a mouth on the face and ask the child to draw the eyes. Place ‘eyes’ on the face and ask the child to draw the mouth that goes with the eyes. Can they write the word ‘sad’? and then draw the face? Do you feel happy? What sort of things make you feel happy? Can you make a happy face? What does our mouth and eyes do when we are happy? What noise might we make? (laughter or giggling)įind the eyes and the mouth to make a sad faceĪsk the child to find you ‘sad eyes’ and a ‘sad mouth’. What makes this face look sad? Would any of the other eyes fit with the mouth? Which other mouth would fit with the eyes? Have you ever felt sad? What happened when you felt sad? How can you tell that someone feels sad?Ĭan you draw me a happy face? You can copy the eyes and the mouths if you want to.
Questions you could ask – can you make me a ‘angry face’? What would ‘angry’ eyes look like? What would ‘sad’ eyes look like? Can you make me a ‘sad face’? Also use other vocabulary such as ‘miserable, frustrated, terrified, proud’.
Can they match the eyes to the mouth? Can they tell you what the expression is that they have made? Parents would also find this resource helpful for their preschool children. This resource is also very good for early years settings and can be put into an area of provision, allowing children to experiment and make different faces. It is excellent for children on the autistic spectrum. The aim of this resource is for children to begin to recognise facial expressions and talk about their feelings. Laminate all the pieces and keep in a zipped bag for convenience.
There are also 12 different sets of eyes and mouths and a set of emotions vocabulary flash cards.
