This is one of three sets of emotions flashcards. This set of adjectives collects words to describe how you feel– both emotions as well as physical feelings (sick, hungry, hot). The funny styles will appeal to young learners. Not all the characters in this set are actual human people , so it may be tricky to use all of these cards to prompt for 3rd person singular (he/she) form. Allow the students to hold the prompt card and/or act out the feeling, instead.
Word list: excited, happy, hot, nervous, OK, sad, scared, sick, tired

Use questions like "How do you feel today?" or "Can you show me what 'nervous' looks like?" to engage children in conversation. Repetition and positive reinforcement help solidify learning.
