Jack-o-lantern emotions - FREE printable

Last October was all about skeletons (this topic is still on and off) but this year E. has found her new favourite Halloween character: the Jack-o-lantern.

Jack-o-lantern Feelings

I made this printable with 6 kinds of different emotions:

• happy
• sad
• angry
• surprised
• cheeky
• scared

You can find this printable at the end of this blog post.

matching the words

I've also made word cards to it in the end, but the picture above shows these little pieces of felt (scrap) and the feelings written on them (with a permanent marker)

What you can do with these cards:

matching the faces

1. Match the picture and the words
2. Match the faces/emotions which are the same
3. Play a memory game with 2 sets
4. Place one set face down on the table. The players choose a card and don't show it to anyone, then make a face expressing that feeling. The other players need to find out what feeling it is.
5. (With bigger kids) Place one set face down on the table. The first player picks up a card and says I feel this when... and need to finish the sentence
6. Identify body parts on the face (eyes, eye brows, nose, mouth)
7. Identify shapes on the faces (This mouth is an oval, The eyes are circles. Can you show me a crescent mouth? What shape is this nose?)

So here is the printable. I hope you'll find it useful:
