Help children transform simple emotion words into powerful descriptive writing with this engaging Show, Not Tell resource pack. Using sentence strips, flashcards and sorting activities, pupils learn how authors reveal emotions through facial expressions, body language, voice and internal feelings rather than simply naming them.

Students sort examples into categories such as Happy/Excited and Scared/Nervous, discuss clues and apply the techniques in their own writing.

Includes:

Show, Not Tell sentence strips
Show, Not Tell flashcards
Sorting mats and categorisation activities
Teacher reference sheets
Bonus writing prompts and extension activities

A low-prep, hands-on resource that builds vocabulary, improves descriptive writing and helps students bring characters to life.
