Emotion Identification Chart

The emotion identification chart is a chart that can either be hung in the classroom for students to see and refer back to or it can be individualized and put on the student’s desk. It is helpful because it helps students learn how to identify and then in turn regulate their emotions and have appropriate responses to situations. Once a student is able to identify the emotion that they are feeling they can then use tools and strategies to help regulate that emotion in an appropriate way within the classroom and outside the classroom as well.
