My Body, My Feelings

Name: _________________________

Hello, Super Kid! Our bodies tell us a lot about how we feel. Sometimes when we're happy, we feel it in our smile! Other times, when we're upset, our stomach might feel funny. Today, we're going to explore where you feel different emotions in your body and practice talking about them. Let's get started!

Where Do You Feel It?

Draw or write where you feel each emotion in your body.
