Free Feelings Flashcards for Kids – Happy and Sad Emotions

Teach toddlers and preschoolers to recognize and name basic emotions with these cute “Happy” and “Sad” flashcards. Designed with simple illustrations of boys and girls expressing feelings, these cards are perfect for early childhood emotional development, social learning, and speech therapy activities.

Tips for Using These Feelings Flashcards:

  1. Use real-life examples
    After showing each card, ask the child:
    “Can you remember a time when you felt like this?”
    This builds emotional awareness.

  2. Role play the emotion
    Let children act out “I’m sad” and “I’m happy” using facial expressions or body language.

  3. Create a matching game
    Print two sets of cards and let children match same emotions — great for memory skills too!

  4. Daily emotional check-in
    Every morning, ask the child to pick a card that matches how they feel. This builds emotional vocabulary and empathy.

  5. Display in classroom/home
    Place the cards on a wall or corner as a “Feelings Zone” so kids can point to how they feel during the day.
