Product Description

These Summer Emotions Activities offer a NO-PREP, hands-on way for students to practice and review identifying emotions with a fun summer theme. Just print and go — no laminating, cutting, or Velcro required for basic use. Students cover the target emotion using counters, small toys, checkers, play dough, or a dry-erase marker, building social-emotional learning (SEL) skills with built-in fine

motor practice.

☀️ Perfect for:

  • Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting emotions vocabulary, social pragmatic language, and feelings identification goals
  • School Counselors building social-emotional learning (SEL) lessons
  • Special Education teachers building emotion identification IEP goals
  • Autism classrooms working on emotion recognition, self-awareness, and self-regulation
  • Occupational Therapists working on emotional regulation, fine motor skills, and self-regulation vocabulary
  • ABA therapists running discrete trial emotion identification programs
  • Social Workers and Mental Health Counselors

  • Extended School Year (ESY) summer programs
  • Summer camps and homeschool families
  • ELL/ESL teachers building English emotions vocabulary

🌴 What's Included:

  • A set of summer-themed identifying emotions mats — NO-PREP format
  • Multiple emotions covered across summer / beach / ocean themed visuals
  • Print-and-go design — laminating optional for repeated use

🎯 Skills Targeted:

Emotion identification and labeling, basic emotions AND complex emotions, social-emotional learning (SEL) foundations, self-awareness, emotion recognition in self and others, summer vocabulary, sorting and classification, expressive and receptive language, following directions, fine motor skills (counter/play dough manipulation OR dry-erase marker), and independent work skills.

How to Use:

Print the mats (laminate if you want to reuse them with dry-erase markers). Students cover the target emotion on each mat using whatever manipulative works best for your students — counters, small toys, checkers, play dough, pom-poms, mini erasers, or buttons. If laminated, students can circle answers with a dry-erase marker. The flexibility lets you adapt the activity to whatever materials and student safety considerations you have on hand.
