Welcome to Metaphors of Emotion Resource Pack

Metaphors are like stories or comparisons that help explain feelings and thoughts.

This resource uses photographic scenarios to offer children a visual representation of what might be happening in their minds. It provides a simpler way to discuss complex situations.

How to Use this Pack:

  1. Print and laminate for durability.
  2. Ask the child to show you how they are feeling right now.  Using known objectives or the question prompts in the pack.
  3. Then, according to the session’s goal, ask them how they feel in a specific scenario.

Examples:

  • Objective: To understanding why a child is struggling with friendships. Scenario: “Point to the picture that shows how you feel when you are with your friends/at breaktime.”
  • Objective: To understanding why a child is struggling to focus and stay in the classroom. Scenario: “I can see you’re having a hard time in lessons, is that right? Let’s use these pictures to help me understand how lessons feel to you.”
