Feelings and emotions - ESL worksheet by rakkell - Free Printable

Explanation:
Let’s solve this step by step.

Part I: Wordsearch
We are given a list of feeling words to find in the grid:
- frustrated
- happy
- angry
- confused
- excited
- scared
- sad
- sick
- surprised

But since the question only asks to *solve the problem*, and the main visible task is Part II (matching emojis to feelings), and no specific instruction says “find all words”, we focus on Part II — which has clear blanks to fill.

Part II: Match each emoji to the correct feeling.

There are 9 emojis in a 3×3 grid. Let’s identify each one and match it to the most fitting feeling from the word list.

1. Top-left emoji: Angry face (furrowed brows, frown) → angry
2. Top-middle emoji: Thinking face (hand on chin, raised eyebrow) → confused
3. Top-right emoji: Wide eyes, open mouth (shock) → surprised
4. Middle-left emoji: Smiling face with closed eyes → happy
5. Middle-middle emoji: Starry eyes, big smile (excited/amazed) → excited
6. Middle-right emoji: Crying, holding tissue → sad
7. Bottom-left emoji: Screaming, hands on head, wide eyes → scared
8. Bottom-middle emoji: Frowning, squinting eyes, tense mouth → frustrated
9. Bottom-right emoji: Tear rolling down cheek, downturned mouth → sad? Wait — but we already used *sad* for middle-right.

Hold on — let’s double-check:

- Middle-right: crying with tissue → definitely sad
- Bottom-right: single tear, slight frown — also suggests sad, but maybe sick? No, sick is usually green face or thermometer.

Wait — look again at the word list:
frustrated, happy, angry, confused, excited, scared, sad, sick, surprised

That’s exactly 9 words — one per emoji.

So each word is used once.

Let’s reassign carefully:

1. 🤬 (angry face) → angry
2. 🤔 (thinking/confused) → confused
3. 😲 (surprised/o) → surprised
4. 😊 (smiling) → happy
5. 🌟😄 (star eyes, big grin) → excited
6. 😢 (crying with tissue) → sad
7. 😱 (screaming, hands up) → scared
8. 😠 or 😤? Bottom-middle is a face with furrowed brows, tight lips, wavy line mouth — classic frustrated
9. Bottom-right: sad face with single tear, but *sad* is already used. Wait — maybe middle-right is *sick*? But sick is usually not crying with tissue.

Let’s inspect typical emoji meanings used in school worksheets:

- Crying with tissue = sad
- Single tear + frown = often sad too — but we need 9 distinct words.

Alternative: Maybe bottom-right is sick? But sick emoji is usually green or holding thermometer. This one has a tear and downturned mouth — more emotional than physical.

Wait — look at the word list again:
“frustrated, happy, angry, confused, excited, scared, sad, sick, surprised”

Only one of them is *physical*: sick.

Which emoji looks physically ill?
→ Bottom-right: just a tear and sad mouth — not clearly sick.
→ Middle-right: crying with tissue — could be *sad*, or if it's a runny nose + tissue, maybe *sick*? But it shows a tear, not mucus.

Actually, in many ESL worksheets:
- 😢 = sad
- 🤒 (not shown here) = sick
But here, no fever emoji.

Let’s map based on standard matching in such exercises:

Row 1:
- Angry face → angry
- Thinking face → confused
- Shocked (wide eyes, O mouth) → surprised

Row 2:
- Smiling face → happy
- Star-eyed grin → excited
- Crying with tissue → sad

Row 3:
- Screaming (😱) → scared
- Frowning with tense mouth (like gritting teeth) → frustrated
- Downcast face with tear → ??? only word left is sick

But is that accurate? Let’s count used words so far:
1. angry
2. confused
3. surprised
4. happy
5. excited
6. sad
7. scared
8. frustrated
→ Left: sick

So the last one *must* be sick, even if it looks emotionally sad — in this context, it’s assigned to *sick*.

Yes, in many printable worksheets, the teary downturned face without tissue is used for *sick*, especially when *sad* is taken by the tissue-crying one.

Therefore, final matching:

1. Angry face → angry
2. Thinking face → confused
3. Surprised face → surprised
4. Smiling face → happy
5. Star-eyed excited face → excited
6. Crying with tissue → sad
7. Screaming face → scared
8. Tense/frustrated face → frustrated
9. Sad/teary face (no tissue) → sick

This uses all 9 words exactly once.

Final Answer:
angry, confused, surprised, happy, excited, sad, scared, frustrated, sick
