Body Clues – Linking Physical Sensations to Emotions Flashcard Game

Help children understand the body-feeling connection.
This printable flashcard game builds interoceptive awareness by matching physical responses (like shaky hands or fast heartbeat) with possible emotional meanings.

What’s Included:

• 20 flashcard pairs

• Game variations (match, memory, group discussion)
  

How to Use:
Kids draw or match cards to explore what their body might be trying to tell them. It's a great conversation starter for moments when “I don’t know how I feel” is the best they can offer.

Why It Works:
Many children experience emotions physically first. Learning to decode those sensations builds emotional vocabulary, regulation, and self-trust.
