Feelings Quiz Material for School Counselors

Posted: October 4, 2024

By: Rachel Fowler, MS, LPC, NCC Social-emotional learning (SEL) is gaining more attention throughout the educational system. SEL can be explained by activities that enhance children's social, emotional, and communication skills. Overall, a curriculum should be created to enhance children's emotional intelligence and integrate mental health into their daily lives within the school setting. This places further responsibilities on school counselors and teachers. Moreover, School Counselors and teachers are expected to follow their academic curriculum in addition to providing social-emotional learning in the classroom. For example, feelings quiz worksheets are a simple activity to use to engage in social-emotional learning in the school setting.

Benefits of the Feelings Quiz Worksheets

Increase Feelings Literacy

The main goal of this activity is to identify emotions and increase children's vocabulary of emotions.

Increase Social Skills

The worksheet can increase social awareness of nonverbal cues to identify emotions. Additionally, the images in the worksheet use body language and facial expressions to express emotions.

Support Communication Skills

During the activity, you are naturally providing an environment where the child can ask questions or talk about emotions or feelings if they want. In doing so, you are providing an opportunity to learn more about a child than potential learning if you need to escalate or refer to the needs of the child.

How These Feelings Quiz Worksheets are Intended to Help School Counselors

During my career, I spent over a year at a local charter school in Houston as a school counselor. Throughout this position, I have experienced firsthand how vital it is to have a mental health professional on campus. My ultimate goal with these worksheets is to provide foundational Social-emotional learning activities to school counselors. Additionally, I want to provide premade materials that are quick, easy, and fast to use to ease the burden placed on educators. The worksheets are not clinically tested, but I am using my experience and skills to help educators where I can. The Feelings Quiz worksheets are an activity that create learning opportunities for identifying emotions. Then, the worksheets can be used as a conversation starter when identifying emotions. School Counselors can use the skills they already have to bring these worksheets to life and increase social-emotional learning in school. Please visit our online shop to see available worksheets!
