👀 Looking for Some Empathy Activities for Kids?
Helping students understand what it means to be empathic is important so that students can become well-rounded, caring individuals. Teaching students what to do in certain situations can be powerful so they can then carry these actions into their daily lives.
We’re so excited to share with you our incredible matching activity created by Teach Starter to help your students identify emotions in others and learn appropriate ways to respond. Our printable resource includes 36 colour cards, featuring a range of emotions, scenarios where students express a particular feeling and example scenarios of student/child responses.
This teacher-created resource also includes visual supports by means of colourful illustrations to help students understand and recognise different emotions that others may experience. The provided scenarios are those that students can easily connect with, as they may have experienced some of them.
How to Use Our Empathy Activity
In order for your students to complete this activity, cut apart the cards and put them in a workspace area. Students will choose a blue card titled ‘How Do They Feel?’ After reading the short scenario, students must find a matching emotion card (yellow) and determine what they should do in that situation by locating a red ‘What Should You Do?’ card. Students can also choose to write down their matching answers on the provided recording sheet.
