Emotion Vocabulary
Use a wider vocabulary of emotion words beyond the basics — including frustrated, worried, anxious, embarrassed, jealous, proud, disappointed, grateful, and lonely — and distinguish between similar emotions
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Emotion Vocabulary means using wider emotion words and telling similar feelings apart. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Emotion word cards beyond basics
- Similar-pair cards: worried/anxious, frustrated/disappointed
Extra for the adult
Worked example. I might feel frustrated when stuck, grateful when helped, and lonely when left out. Similar words are not identical.
Optional challenge. For Emotion Vocabulary, distinguish worried vs anxious in own words.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: richer words used; pair compared; support used. This session samples emotion vocabulary, not mastery of emotional literacy curricula.

Check understanding
- Use at least five emotion words beyond the basic six in everyday conversation
- Explain the difference between two similar emotions such as angry and frustrated
- Choose a precise emotion word that fits a described scenario
“If your child doesn't get invited to a classmate's party, can they describe whether they feel disappointed, jealous, lonely, or a mix — rather than just saying 'sad'?”
