Stick Man Emotions Worksheet: Happy, Sad, Angry & Surprised!

How to use this worksheet

Look at each stick man face on the page together and talk about what you notice — is the mouth turned up or down, are the eyebrows raised? Say each emotion word aloud — happy, sad, angry, surprised — and have your child match it to the face that shows that feeling. Once matched, let your child color each face, choosing colors that feel right for that emotion if they'd like. Finish by asking your child to make that same face themselves in a mirror.
