I have a little boy who is eight, and he needs some help figuring out how to deal with his emotions. In a big way. In fact, if you have a child like mine, you will know what I mean when I say — It has been one of those days. And I’ve already figured out that LEGO® is the perfect pathway for learning for him.

Having just turned 8, he is right on the cusp between needing the Prek-2nd grades LEGO faces printable pack I created a few weeks ago, and this more involved set of printables for 3rd – 6th grades. So as soon as I created the set for younger students, I knew this one for older students was going to have to happen.

Emotions are tough for kids to figure out sometimes. These fun printables give them a chance to think through what makes them happy, what triggers anger, what they can do to calm down and how to find ways to feel better.

“Like all human beings, children are ruled by their emotional right brain and their logical left brain. Helping children to understand and integrate both sides of their brain equips them with an invaluable tool that enables them to lead a more balanced, emotionally stable, and mentally healthy life.” (Psychology Today)

Although I don’t agree with everything I find on Psychology Today, I think it is important to recognize that the right and left brain need to work together to help children handle emotions. These printables will allow you to do some left brain work related to emotions which will in turn give them tools to use when they need help controlling emotion. Keep the completed worksheets in a binder to refer to and remind each other often.

Another great trick we have learned to help my son switch off his angry outburst is to get him counting. This switches his brain to the left and turns off the extremes of emotion. Then once he is calm, we can talk about what happened and write down more answers on our LEGO Faces worksheets.

    I came upon your site via Facebook. I’m a speech/language pathologist, working mainly with preschool- and elementary-aged students. Both packets you have would work great when discussing emotions with my students – thanks for sharing!

    amy thank you soooo much for this. Our little guy has ASD and really struggles with facial expressions and reading them, along with using the correct one himself but he LOVES lego’s so this will be amazing to work through with him.
    Thank you so much again xxxxxx

    I absolutely came across your website by mistake … Have no idea what random tangent the clicks were going looking for inspiration for the family!

    I have two lads … one is 14 with nonverbal autism, adhd and he self-harms, the other is 9 years and also on the Autism Spectrum however he struggles most understanding his feelings, emotions and ways that others feel, do and react.

    The 9 year old also happens to be an absolute Lego fanatic. I genuinely can’t wait to go through this content especially with him! I really think that it is going to make a massive impact on what he understands!

    I am opening a blog myself, launching it in January. I was wondering at all if you’d mind me linking back to you to highlight your amazing Lego collection of printables? If you would get in touch one way or another it’d be brilliant to hopefully see a yes!! 🙂

    Thanks once more! Take care!
