The Emotions Wheel is a valuable tool for enhancing students’ emotional literacy by helping them recognise, label, and express their feelings more accurately.
Whether integrated into social-emotional learning lessons or used informally, the Emotions Wheel can be a simple yet powerful way to promote emotional well-being in schools.
In a classroom setting, it can be used during daily check-ins, writing exercises, group discussions, or even conflict resolution moments to build students’ emotional vocabulary and self-awareness. For younger students, it can even be a way to increase their emotional quotient by providing fun and interesting ways to navigate the wheel and hence learn vocabulary.
By encouraging learners to identify their emotions beyond broad categories like “happy” or “sad,” the wheel fosters deeper reflection and communication. This not only supports students’ social-emotional development but also creates a more empathetic and emotionally supportive classroom environment.
