Printable Feelings Chart: Mind + Body + Emotions + Zones of Regulation
Printable Feelings Chart: Mind + Body + Emotions + Zones of Regulation
My preschoolers have found visual charts really helpful, but when I set out to find an emotions chart to support our conversations about feelings, I didn't love anything that was out there.
I wanted a feelings chart that did more than just show expressions: I wanted to talk about how our emotions can come out in our minds and bodies too. And I wanted to connect it to the zones of regulation to support our conversations about why emotional regulation is so important for coming back to a calm state (or "the green zone").
So when I couldn't find an emotions chart that captured what I wanted, I made it instead!
This downloadable 8.5x11" landscape feelings chart includes simple line drawing expressions to cover the feelings sad, calm, happy, worried, excited, and angry, with doodles that express how the emotion may feel in your mind and a list of 3 keywords + doodles for how each emotion might feel in your body. These doodles are exclusive to the mama nous brand so you won't find an emotions chart quite like this anywhere else!
I hope this feelings chart is especially helpful for starting conversations about how different people express emotions differently: facial expressions are just one piece of the puzzle and many times you can't actually tell how someone feel from their face
This feelings chart is not a physical product. Upon purchase, you'll receive an email with a digital file containing a downloadable PDF of both the color version with zones of regulation as well as the plain black version if you prefer.
Please feel free to use this emotions chart in your classroom!

My kids absolutely love the chart. Feelings do not live just in our facial muscles. They move through our bodies long before our faces show anything. So empowering to them to have a chart that includes adjectives to how a feeling might manifest in their body. They like coming up with their own adjectives. Thank you!
