Express Yourself Spinner

Explore your emotions and check in with your friends! Use our free template to construct a desktop ‘Today I Feel…’ spinner, where each day you can display the emotion that best matches your mood. A simple way for children to communicate feelings and a great conversation activity for events such as R U OK? Day.
  • Step 1Download and print the template provided onto cardboard as this makes construction nice and sturdy. Decorate the template using coloured markers, pencils or watercolour. Allow to dry if needed.
  • Step 2Cut out the template pieces. Use an open pair of scissors or a craft knife to slice along the two black lines within the person template, ensuring to not cut to the edge. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors or craft knives. There will now be two slots.
  • Step 3Mountain fold along the grey dotted lines of the person template so they sit at a 90-degree angle. Your person template can now stand up!
  • Step 4Thread your emotions strip through the slots in your person template. Push the strip through the left slot of the person template from the back, then across the person and down through the right slot. Bring the ends of the strip together at the back and tape to create a circle.
  • Step 5Your Express Yourself Spinner is now ready to use. Carefully move the ring clockwise or anti-clockwise to display different emotions on the person’s face!
