Description
This engaging Boom Deck helps students identify emotions through fun, visually appealing activities. Each card features different objects with expressive faces—such as chalkboards, crayons, fruits, emojis, dinosaurs, flowers, popsicles and dogs — showing a variety of emotions. Students will drag and drop the correct emotion word to match each facial expression. Emotions included in this deck are: happy, sad, tired, angry, scared, and silly. The final slide encourages creativity and deeper understanding by asking students to draw their own facial expression on a blank emoji face to represent one of the emotions.
