When Feelings Visit Worksheet

When Feelings Visit | Understanding Emotions Worksheet

Help students make sense of their emotions with this easy-to-follow worksheet. “When Feelings Visit” introduces eight common emotions, explores why they might show up, and offers examples of what they may be communicating.

Using approachable language, this resource encourages students to get curious about their feelings and consider how to respond.

Students will explore:

Anxiety, anger, sadness, embarrassment, loneliness, guilt, overwhelm, and joy.

Possible connections between emotions, experiences, and needs.

Responses such as seeking support, pausing, setting boundaries, and taking one step at a time.

Which feeling has been showing up most lately and what it might be telling them.

What’s included: One black-and-white worksheet featuring a three-column emotion reference chart and an open response area for personal reflection.

Use with middle and high school students during individual counseling, small groups, emotional check-ins, or social-emotional learning activities. Keep it available as a reference when students need help naming and talking through their feelings.

A helpful reminder throughout: Feelings are signals, not instructions.
