Help children identify, name, and explore emotions with St. Patrick’s Day Feelings Puzzles. This printable social-emotional learning resource includes 64 differentiated, self-correcting puzzles in shamrock, leprechaun, gold coin, and rainbow designs for counseling, small groups, and classroom SEL centers.

Use the two-piece puzzles to match feeling faces with emotion words, then introduce three-piece puzzles that add a matching scenario. The two formats let you focus on recognizing emotional expressions or extend the discussion to how someone might feel in an everyday situation.

Conversation dice, a feelings matching game, and eight bonus pages give you additional ways to revisit emotional vocabulary and self-awareness. Rotate the St. Patrick’s Day designs through March lessons, use a few puzzles for a feelings check-in, or follow the matching activity with a conversation about children’s experiences.
