## Back-to-School Feelings Bundle – 2 Printable SEL Worksheets for Kids Ages 5–10
Help children feel more prepared, understood, and supported as they get ready for school with this **2-page Back-to-School Feelings Bundle**.
These printable social-emotional learning worksheets are designed for children ages **5–10** and focus on two common parts of the school transition: **understanding first-day feelings** and **coping with nervousness about school**.
With colorful illustrations, simple prompts, feelings check-ins, calming strategies, and drawing activities, this bundle gives children practical ways to talk about what they are feeling without suggesting they should simply “stop worrying” or “be brave.”
### What’s Included
You will receive **2 printable worksheets**:
**1. My First Day Feelings**
A gentle first-day-of-school feelings activity that helps children:
* Recognize and name emotions such as **excited, happy, worried, shy, and sad**
* Think about how their first day might feel
* Identify something they are excited about
* Share something they may be worried about
* Circle the feeling that best describes how they feel today
* Draw themselves on their first day

### Designed for Ages 5–10
The activities use child-friendly language, visual emotion cues, checkboxes, writing prompts, and drawing spaces so they can be adapted for different developmental levels.
Younger children can complete the worksheets with a parent, teacher, counselor, or other trusted adult, while older children may be able to work through much of the material independently.
### A Gentle Approach to School Worries
These worksheets do not expect children to feel completely happy, confident, or worry-free before starting school.
Instead, they reinforce messages such as:
**All feelings are okay.**
**It is okay to feel nervous.**
**Children can ask trusted adults for help.**
**One small step at a time is enough.**
This makes the bundle especially useful for opening supportive conversations with children who may have mixed feelings about going back to school.
