Help your students understand their emotions, feelings, and body sensations with helpful visuals and teaching tools!

Help your students understand their emotions, feelings, and body sensations with helpful visuals and teaching tools! Available in Google Slides™️ and printable, no-prep pages, you’ll have everything you need to help your students move past basic “happy” and “sad.”

Emotional awareness is foundational skill for developing emotional and self regulation. So many of my students struggled understanding their emotions until we built a foundation of two critical skills:

  • Increasing awareness of the sensations and feelings in their body
  • Putting words to their thoughts

Only after targeting those foundational skills did my students begin the process of connecting the dots to understanding their own sensations and feelings. From there, we were better able to target other skills that rely on emotional awareness including self-advocacy and self-regulation skills.

This resource contains the visuals, graphic organizers, and worksheets that were most effective and helpful for me and my students.

In the beginning of the resource are a few teaching pages so you can teach the difference between thoughts, body sensations, and feelings. Then, I’ve provided a ton of different worksheets, visuals, and graphic organizers to help your students identify body sensations and feelings in their own body! Last, there are two sections of feelings worksheets that allow you to discuss a variety of specific feelings (e.g., brave, calm, confused) more in depth.

Here’s some reasons why other SLPs have loved this resource:

♥ ”Great visuals to teach explicit concepts about something so abstract! Currently working with clinical psychologists in an anxiety treatment group and the ideas and concepts here align with best practice in that group as well. Fantastic work!” – Kelsey C.

♥ ”I am just obsessed with how clear, straightforward, and thorough this resource is. It has the explicit, systematic teaching that really works well for my students on the spectrum (and myself).” – Sarah F.

♥ ”Shannon never disappoints. This resource is amazing! I already love the few beginning pages I have used for teaching purposes and love the variety of activities included to target emotional regulation skills. I didn’t realize how much I needed this for my caseload until I purchased it and started going through it. SO USEFUL!” – Sunflower SLP

  1. Rebecca Ansen –

    Great resource! Exactly what I needed for my social skills group.

  2. Rebecca Overmier –

    Love this! Exactly what I’ve been looking for

  3. Ashley M. –

    Great product!

  4. Alyssa H. –

    Fantastic with great visuals! Thank you!

  5. Andrea B. –

    I used this the first day after I bought it. The visuals are helpful, and both of my students had positive things to say about the way the concepts were explained, such as ‘sensations’. I’m very excited to continue using this resource with my social group!

  6. Melissa Andrade –

    Great visual aids!

  7. Jennifer Z. –

    Another great resource from Speech Musings. Love that I can incorporate SEL with speech and language AND have a plan/materials to follow.

  8. alibeeSLP –

    THIS IS THE RESOURCE I’VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR. It is perfect to use across my caseload- SEL, social language, vocabulary, problem solving, EVERYTHING. So worth the investment.

  9. Lisa Johnson –

    This is a great resource! Thank you!

  10. Joann L. –

    I teach body scanning to students often, this resource has simplified and allowed for consistent visuals (as opposed to my hand drawn doodles!) I also like how systematically it explains the language for describing body sensations. Students are starting to practice using this skill and working through activity sheets.

  11. Sheetal Nair –

    Good resource!

  12. Sunflower SLP –

    Shannon never disappoints. This resource is amazing! I already love the few beginning pages I have used for teaching purposes and love the variety of activities included to target emotional regulation skills. I didn’t realize how much I needed this for my caseload until I purchased it and started going through it. SO USEFUL!

  13. Zebaish S. –

    This is amazing resource. I loved using it.

  14. MelanieSLP –

    Love, love, love another awesome unit. Love working on this language of emotions and reflection…. SO important for self-reflection, regulation, and functional communication!!

  15. Shireen G. –

    Easy to use and pull out for in person or tele sessions! using with students from different age groups!

  16. Very Visual SLP –

    I am so excited for this resource! I target emotions with several different students on my caseload and this is a perfect fit for their needs. Thank you!

  17. Jordyn S. –

    If Shannon makes it, I buy it. Love this packet!

  18. Emily S. –

    love this!

  19. Kayla Megan –

    Really great resouce!

  20. Finch Speech –

    I am just obsessed with how clear, straightforward, and thorough this resource is. It has the explicit, systematic teaching that really works well for my students on the spectrum (and myself).

  21. Emma S. –

    I am so thankful for this resource! It has helped so many of my kids who just needed a little extra support to recognize and discuss their own emotions!!

  22. Erin G. –

    I love this resource!

  23. Lara K. –

    I’ve previously been using bits and pieces of resources to work on emotional awareness but this resource has it all in one place! I love that this can be used in person or online, and the visuals lend themselves to all age groups.

  24. The Speech Chambers –

    Like all of Shannon’s resources, this is beautifully designed to be both educational and aesthetically pleasing. This is a great intro that many of my students need

  25. Lee L. –

    Love this resource! Many of my students often struggle with the language to communicate how they feel and why. This is a great resource !

  26. Kelsey O. –

    Great visuals to teach explicit concepts about something so abstract! Currently working with clinical psychologists in an anxiety treatment group and the ideas and concepts here align with best practice in that group as well. Fantastic work!

  27. Barbara K. –

    I love this resource for students who need a way to learn about expressing their feelings. I love how it connects with the zones of regulation.

  28. Nicolette K. –

    The visuals in this packet have been incredibly helpful in helping my students discuss their emotions.

  29. Jill B. –

    Love this resource just like all of your others. I can always count on your resources!

  30. Dana Monaghan –

    Another well-organized and thorough resource. Thank you!

  31. Read the Room –

    This is an incredible and comprehensive resource! It helps provide students with tools and vocabulary to express their feelings.

  32. Andrea L –

    This is a very thorough resource that can be used to work on self-regulation, self-awareness and interoception.

  33. Malia K. –

    Such a friendly, gentle way to introduce feelings and emotions to students who really struggle with identifying them in their day to day lives. I was a little hesitant to try this with some of my students who really struggle with behavior, but they have been extremely receptive to it and seem to find comfort in discovering that they are “normal” and that others feel things, too.

  34. Linda C. –

    Very thorough. Easy to use. Covered many skills, Great visuals. Good with a variety of my students.

  35. Merritt Green –

    Great resource to help students develop emotional awareness-thank you!

  36. Clearly Speechie –

    While my whole caseload could benefit from this, I had 1 student in particular in mind who has already excelled with this. She has trouble regulating/identifying her emotions but has already had amazing recall of just the first 2 sessions we’ve completed. It has been very easy for her to understand and apply, as well as for me to briefly look over and then use as a jumping point for our sessions. Love this resource so much!!

  37. Anastasia Lucich –

    The skills are broken down well to help teach emotions. Would love some added perspective-taking with real pictures 🙂

  38. Rachel C. –

    This resource has been my go-to recently! I love how each emotion is explained in detail with matching visuals. It really helps my students who struggle with emotional regulation better understand how they can recognize different emotions.

  39. rhenda R. –

    Very helpful for targeting body awareness.

  40. Carolyn S. –

    This resource has been incredible for my students! It adds that extra layer of connecting the dots between emotions and being aware of their bodies!

  41. Julia D. –

    Just what my student needed.

  42. Lynn L. –

    I purchased this late in the school year and will be using it more in the fall for sure. So many kids struggle with emotional awareness and this provides great visuals to walk them through these skills

  43. Margaret Griesmer –

    The simple format makes this visually appealing without distractions- well thought out unit to ID emotions and build SEL skills.

  44. Miranda H. –

    This is a good resource for students who have difficulty with their emotions and explaining how they are feeling.

  45. Haeleigh R. –

    This is such a great resource for teaching emotional awareness in a positive way. My students enjoy their body scans and this resource really walks us through it. I also love the strategy sheets at the end which really adds that ‘why’ for my students and teachers have already let me know that students are implementing strategies in their classrooms as they’re better able to recognize their own feelings. Also every page has the simple and clean design that I love in all of Speechy Musing’s resources.

  46. Lauren B. –

    Love this! There is so much content for teaching and explaining confusing concepts. The graphics and visual supports are great for my concrete thinkers.

  47. Claire J. –

    I liked how this resource was set up and helps the students go through emotions and thoughts!

  48. Kaitlin J. –

    Great visuals and easy to use

  49. Kelsey K. –

    Love this resource–works for a wide variety of students and varying levels of difficulty.

  50. Rachel Z. –

    Great resource! Highly recommend!!

  51. sally C. –

    great resource

  52. Hannah M. –

    Finally a material that easily breaks down the sensations in our bodies for students! LOVE this resource, thank you!

  53. Esther C. –

    I’ve noticed a need for emotional awareness in my students. So many of my students have difficulty with self-awareness of their feelings and putting their feelings into words. This resource targets these skills in order for students to understand their emotions. Love it.

  54. Janet M. –

    Simple explanations and drawings for helping to explain the complexities of feelings & emotions. I’ve used primarily for my students with ASD, but also as a check in for many students. Great for social-emotional learning & awareness

  55. Kaitlyn T –

    Great resource! I have started to use these as a way to “check in” with my kiddos at the start of every session.

  56. Heather K. –

    These visuals were exactly what I needed especially for one of my students who was finally starting to understand and explain his own emotions. The visuals are so helpful for my students who don’t understand how to express what they are feeling. I love this resource so much!

  57. Heather E. –

    These were great to use with an a group of students that I do an in-class lesson with weekly. I used these as part of our “checking in” activities before my main lesson began. Helped kids to tune in and would set the tone for the lesson. Also helped me to assess how I might need to adjust my lesson based on answers that kids provided.

  58. Erin Proffit –

    Great activities. Necessary content. Great work.

  59. Brooke R. –

    I have never found a resource that connected emotion and body awareness so closely together as this resource did! The visuals and activities are simple and easy to understand.

  60. Katina G. –

    Such a great product to teach a complex topic. Very helpful. Thank you!!

  61. Rambling SLP –

    I can always count on Speechy Musings for evidence based resources.

  62. Functional Speech with Rachel –

    I love everything about this resource. Students can’t communicate their needs/emotions if they cannot identify them themselves. This resource offers great opportunities to explicitly teach skills that are foundational for self-regulation and, ultimately, communication.

  63. Rachel S. –

    What a great product! This is an area I’d like to keep working on more, and this kit is thorough enough to make it easy!

  64. Cheridan N. –

    Great resource!

  65. Lori C. –

    Comprehensive product to teach these critical skills a direct manner. Thank you for a systemic way to approach these skills!

  66. Amanda P. –

    Perfect for teaching students to self regulate their emotions.

  67. Julia B. –

    This is one of my favorite activities from Speechy Musings, and I love all her stuff. I really appreciate the focus on sensations since that is not something I had discussed much with my students previously. Thank you so much!

  68. Holly P. –

    This resource is very helpful for me because teaching emotional regulation skills wasn’t covered in graduate school for me. I know that many of my students will benefit!

  69. Asha C. –

    Love using this with my social skills groups!

  70. Tessa F. –

    This resource has been really helpful for my students as we check in at the beginning of each session. The visuals are really supportive of students’ understanding of emotions and regulation.

  71. Nahri L. –

    I absolutely love this resource. I have used this resource to lesson plan with an ERMHS therapist and find that it is very flexible and customizable. I love all of the visuals and explanations.

  72. Allie Hughes –

    This resource has been the perfect emotional awareness/teaching resource. I have been able to adapt for identifying emotions and working on putting words to our own emotions, which can be so difficult for our kids on the spectrum (and not on the spectrum) to work through!

  73. Emily H. –

    This was great to break down the differences between feelings and sensations. Thank you!

  74. SHAUNA B. –

    good starting point for raising awareness of student’s thoughts, feelings and body awareness.

  75. Rachel T. –

    A very systematic way to address identifying and describing emotions. I really like how the visuals are simple, yet effective. The pages aren’t too overwhelming!

  76. Taylor G. –

    You NEED this in your therapy toolbox because it can be used with all students across grade levels. It is such an important area to target for all students.

  77. Haley S. –

    I’ve been looking for a resource like this for so long! This has been so helpful for so many of my students.

  78. Katharine I. –

    Using this when I collaborate with my OT and counselor in general education classrooms. Love how simple and clear each worksheet is for my students. Thank you!

  79. Rachel Jones –

    Love this resource! So helpful!

  80. Lori B. –

    A great resource for teaching emotions. I wish there were video links for each emotion to add to the teaching of the emotion words. Love all of your products!

  81. Samantha K. –

    This is the single best emotional regulation resource I have used. I like pairing it with the Zones of Regulation as I find Zones to be lacking in teaching children what feelings are. This has been great to help kids understand WHY positive thoughts can help shape their actions. It teaches them ways to EXPLAIN what they are feeling, even if they do not have the nuanced emotional term to pair it with.

    I have had students tell me their stomachs feel tight and full after one 1 introduction which is a massive improvement over “I don’t feel good” which most of my kids use to describe all negative emotions. I love this so so so much.

  82. Geraldine Batangan –

    Great resource. I was able to use it in my middle school special education class.

  83. Ashley R. –

    There are a lot of pages and it is very relevant. Take time to go through everything before planning to use it. Otherwise great

  84. Marilee Sobrinski –

    Loved this resource to help with self-regulation for my students with autism.

  85. April O. –

    I love the distinction between thoughts and feelings in this resource, as well as the focus on body sensations to help students recognize and understand their feelings better!

  86. Bethany R. –

    Love this for students struggling with emotions and behaviors

  87. Ashley J. –

    Great resources for helping students understand emotions!

  88. Gay C. –

    Great organized way to teach this skill.

  89. Cienna B. –

    As always, a very thorough and appropriate resource. The visuals help my student understand and work through this resource. Perfect for working on emotional recognition and regulation!

  90. Emily D. –

    Shannon does it again! She is the queen of making the most comprehensive resources. This one is priced just right and you get so much inside!

  91. Yvette B. –

    I like the organization of how the emotions are explained and the description of how the emotions “feel”. It wasn’t a great ongoing activity for my students. I definitely used it as a jumping off point for other materials to support it.
    Edited 3/26/24- I have pulled this resource out again with some different students. Again, the organization and description of the emotions is great. I tried it with some of my older students who werer able to understand and connect with the ideas better than when I used it before.

  92. Rachel M. –

    Easy way to visualize abstract physical feelings related to emotional feelings.

  93. Julie S. –

    Thank you!

  94. Jennifer P. –

    Everything Shannon does is quality. This is another great one with so much packed into one packet that can be used with different learners. Love that the visuals aren’t too cutesy. Students are engaged and the teaching staff also learn from the way steps are broken down. Thanks so much

  95. Jessica S. –

    I love ALL of Speechy Musings’ resources and this one is just as great!! It is well researched/very purposeful and easy to use during speech sessions. There are tons of opportunities for explicit teaching of these skills and my students are improving on their ability to communicate their emotions.

  96. Mary T. –

    Love this resource.

  97. Jamie S. –

    Really thorough packet! The visuals are clear, and really breaks down abstract emotions. I’m glad to have this resource to support my students in their social/emotional growth.

  98. Suzanne Clark –

    Great product

  99. SpeakEazySLP –

    I love this resource! It has been helpful for teaching my students about more complex emotions and what they look and feel like.

  100. Barbara T. –

    This is a clear and comprehensive resource! It has the explicit, systematic teaching that really works well for my students in need. I use it mainly with ASD and ED.

  101. Creative Communication Corner –

    This packet is perfect for teaching my students the cause and effect relationships related to events, thoughts, and emotional responses. The visuals are awesome and are effective in helping my students self-assess and self-monitor their emotional reaction levels and body reactions. Honestly, I can use this with so many students and address many different goals while also working on social-emotional skills.

  102. Margo Simmons –

    Now more than ever it is so important to check in with students and I’ve found this is a great resource for that! It allows students to really check in with themselves and gives me good information about how to meet them where they’re at that day.

  103. Whitney D. –

    Great addition to socio-emotional activities.

  104. Ghada K. –

    Exactly what I was looking for!! This resource makes it so much easier to teach emotional awareness. It has also been very engaging for my students! Very happy with this purchase.

  105. Krista K. –

    Very thorough packet for teaching and talking about emotions. Thank you!

  106. Mary Cotton –

    I love all the materials I have from your store. this has been great for a kiddo I have who doesn’t like talking about emotions. We’re working through the packet slowly

  107. Amelia M. –

    My students really engaged with this resource!

  108. Mikayla C. –

    This is amazing to help teach emotions and emotional regulation.

  109. Chloe K. –

    The visuals are very helpful for my student who struggles to explain why he feels an emotion. I like the inclusion of choices to choose actions associated with each emotion category.

  110. Nancy N. –

    Loved this resource, used it to relearn some social emotional skills such as verbalizing why a student is upset and they loved it.

  111. Sarah E. –

    This is a one stop shop for easy emotional awareness activities.

  112. neeta N. –

    This resource is clear and easy to understand. The client I used it with is 15 but has a lower cognitive age. He looked happy and was excited to learn how he can share how he was feeling to others. He only can say happy, sad or angry but this is a great visual for him to show his family when words fail him!

  113. Andrea V. –

    I love using this resource to help students add to their regulation toolbox!

  114. Doyle Speech Works –

    I can always count on your products in supporting the target goals of my students. They are well researched, organized and motivating.

  115. Barb C. –

    This has helped my students better understand how the different emotions affects there body.

  116. Lisa A. –

    Fantastic resource! Huge part of check in with students at the start of a session. Cannot recommend highly enough!

  117. Emily L. –

    5 stars – this worksheet series / program is incredible! It breaks every concept down to such a detailed level that some children really need. I hadn’t realized just how much I gloss over when trying to teach these concepts – I love the visuals and the pacing!

  118. Natalie M. –

    This resource is great for working with my Autistic students!

  119. Jane B. –

    Thank you for sharing this great resource that makes teaching emotional awareness so much easier!!
    I love the simple explanations and visuals. Great for use across my caseload!

  120. Laura the SLP –

    Needed a product geared towards SLPs to work on this skill – thank you!

  121. Silvia M. –

    The source was useful as a supplement to facilitate goals.

  122. Sharon A. –

    I really liked this resource. It is so helpful and breaks down the activities so that students can understand and interact fully.

  123. Venus S. –

    thank you!

  124. Lisa A. –

    It’s so difficult for students to understand what the different emotions actually feel like in their body in order to really know what they are feeling. This resource helps to make it clear and tangible for students so they can begin to label their emotions and work on regulatory strategies

  125. Hailey B. –

    I love this resource. It is particularly parent-friendly, and helps them co-regulate with little ones.

  126. Cassie F. –

    This is a great daily check in for all students, especially those with ASD or ones who have trouble identifying and describing their emotions. I will use it before each session. Thank you!

  127. Larissa T. –

    The way that this resource is broken down to really help the students understand all that is involved in emotions and emotional awareness is fantastic! The resource encourages the students to concentrate on their own bodies and sensations to draw upon in situations before they are able to decide how to handle and solve their problems.

  128. Christina B. –

    LOVE this resource!!! I use it along side the SPOTS of Feelings books!!!

  129. KB’s SLP Store –

    I love the visuals! So great.

  130. Anita B. –

    Love all the visuals and again, the systematic, explicit teaching, followed by examples to work it all through!

  131. Gretchen G. –

    This is a great, comprehensive resource that provides many opportunities for learning about and practicing skills!

  132. Jessie H. –

    Great resource!

  133. Stacey D. –

    Fantastic SEL resource!

  134. Calli H. –

    This resource is so valuable!

  135. Jennifer S. –

    This resource has offered my students a tangible way to improve interoception, problem solving, and connections for inferencing. They love that the materials are not for small children and have shown great improvement. The topics have started meaningful conversations in groups and the students I’ve used these resources with have given very positive feedback. I will continue to use it for many years to come!

  136. sara P. –

    This resource is definitely more beneficial for students that don’t have difficulties with expressive and receptive language. It is best for students whose main areas of need are emotional regulation. I think it would also be great for OTs and intervention specialists!

  137. Hayley G the SLP –

    Very helpful resource for working on my students goals. Thanks!

  138. Gabrielle F. –

    I printed and laminated the colored pages as a type of “AAC” choice board for when students have difficulty expressing and identifying their emotions. I’m really happy with this purchase. It’s a comprehensive and can be used across the caseload.

  139. Emily R. –

    Love the visuals and relating to how student is feeling!

  140. Noreen B. –

    Thank you!

  141. Kim K. –

    I love how this resource is organized, and really delves into emotional states. Thanks!

  142. Jess H. –

    My therapy children loved using this resource for emotional awareness and especially “how thoughts and feelings work”.

  143. Prosperity Therapy –

    The visuals and information included are very helpful and provide a great support for helping students develop interoception skills.

  144. The Mobile SLP –

    As always, this resource was everything I wanted and MORE. You’re resources continue to blow me away every time!

  145. Roberta Q. –

    A++++

  146. Erica A. –

    Love this product. Thank you

  147. Amy K. –

    This is a great tool to use with my students!

  148. Susan Cohen –

    We use this resource during an integrated lesson with the whole class. The student loved it.

  149. Elizabeth W. –

    It’s a nice resource, but I had difficulty using it with my patients who don’t read.

  150. Denise S. –

    Thank you!

  151. Leonda F. –

    great visuals for teaching social emotional skills

  152. Fatima R. –

    I loved using this resource for my young students who are working on their speech fluency! What great visuals to learn about feelings and attitudes.

  153. Andrea Veres –

    Really effective and well laid out resource!

  154. Thought Bubble SLP –

    Turned this into a workbook to use with a student this year. Great resource. Thank you for you creativity and quality resources.

  155. Jill S. –

    Students really need support in developing emotional awareness. Thank you for a resource that helps to teach this skill. The visual supports are particularly useful.

  156. Jetzabel A. –

    I loved this resource! My kids were super engaged while using it!

  157. Speechaholic SLP –

    Excellent resource for working on emotional awareness with older students. This is really helping the students in my social language groups develop better self-awareness and emotional expression skills.

  158. Aubree G. –

    We have been using this resource as part of our sensory break experiences for students. It’s a great resource to provide language/vocabulary to describe tricky body sensations, and helps to re-regulate students. Great resource.

  159. Anna H. –

    I began using this with my students at the end of the year because they needed help with understanding and explaining their feelings. I have used this material with many students on alternate curriculum and have seen a lot of growth in SEL skills 🙂

  160. Katarina J. –

    I love how thorough this resource is! I love the descriptions of body sensations included in this.

  161. littlespeechthings –

    A great resource for targeting emotional awareness. My students love this activity

  162. Jean F. –

    Really nice reinforcer and teaching tool for regulation. Easy to understand, clear and concise. Love this.

  163. Crooked River Communications –

    This has been great to use alongside my implementation of Zones of Regulation. Knowing how their emotions physically manifest has been so helpful with my kids’ ability to pick a regulation strategy.

  164. Chelsea N. –

    This is a hard area for me to concretely target for my older students, and this feels very affirming and age appropriate in terms of clip art and content. Thanks!

  165. Emily M. –

    Love this resource for all of my students who have difficulty understanding and expressing emotions!

  166. Jessica P. –

    The graphic organizers are so helpful for my students. Understanding and talking about emotions are hard, this makes it a little easier.

  167. Nicole G. –

    I love this resource for helping students understand how their body sensations correlate to different emotions they are experiencing

  168. Lindsey T. –

    I used this source with an older autistic client. Love the visuals!

  169. Megan S. –

    This is just what I was looking for!!! I really like the pages where the students can say how they are feeling, and then decide what they can do.

  170. Sunny Side Up Speech –

    I love this resource and the visuals that go along with it! Everything from Speechy Musings is wonderful!

  171. Valerie W. –

    This resource filled a very big need. So many resources focus on naming emotions in others which doesn’t seem to transfer to the student identifying emotions in themselves or knowing what that feeling feels like to move towards solutions. This resource does that! It teaches increasing awareness of the sensations and feelings in their body and putting words to their thoughts. Thank you!

    This is such a helpful resource to break down emotions and how they may feel, express and label them. I love the interactive nature, the break down of the most common feelings (happy, excited, mad, sad) to use with my older students and talk about the nuisances of each and expand their expressive vocabulary.

  180. Talking Tails –

    This resource is great. I definitely think it helps provide a visual for things that are hard to describe to kids. Unfortunately, I feel it is still too advanced for many of my kids on the autism spectrum or with higher needs.

  181. Ereeni Roulakis –

    This was a great and easy to use resource to target emotional awareness!

  182. Lynette E. –

  194. Aimee V. –

    This is exactly the kind of resource needed by students with poor interoception and awareness of what exactly they’re feeling and why. So far, I would recommend using this with students who have stronger language skills or who are a little older, but there are strategies that adults can learn from and model as well for younger students. Excellent resource.

    This resource has been extremely helpful to give my students more words and insight into how they are feeling. I love having more tools in my toolbox.
