Emotional Literacy Made Playful

Big feelings. Dramatic reactions. A little bit of sass.

This printable Sassy Cats Emotions Deck was created to help children learn emotional literacy in a fun, approachable, and engaging way —especially for kids who love cats and connect with expressive characters.

Because sometimes it’s easier to say,
“I feel like this cat.” 🐱✨

🧠 Designed For:

• Therapists & play therapy sessions
• School counselors & SEL groups
• Parents teaching emotional vocabulary at home
• Classrooms & calm corners
• Children who love animals
• Kids who need a gentle entry into talking about feelings

🐾 How to Use These Sassy Cats

These cards are designed to be flexible and creative. Here are a few ways you can use them:

🧠 In Therapy Sessions

• Ask the child to pick a cat that matches how they feel today
• Use the cards to explore “What makes this cat feel this way?”
• Pair with coping skills (“What would help this cat calm down?”)
• Practice emotion identification and regulation skills

🏫 In Classrooms or SEL Groups

• Daily feelings check-in
• Morning meeting discussion prompts
• Emotion charades or matching games
• Calm corner reflection tool

💛 At Home with Parents

• Create a daily “How’s Your Cat Feeling?” routine
• Use during conflict to help children identify emotions
• Build emotional vocabulary in a playful way
• Normalize big feelings through humor and connection

🎲 Make It a Game

• Have children act out the emotion
