Show Not Tell Mats

I made these ‘show not tell’ mats to support children when describing characters feelings. I choose specific mats, depending on what we are writing e.g., scared and sad mats when writing an evacuation diary entry. They also work well during our reading lessons when inferring character traits. My favourite way to use them is for drama lessons, where I give a group or individual a feeling which they act out using points under each heading.

You can download my free Show Not Tell Mats resource below. If my free resources, posts and book reviews have helped you in some small way, it would be lovely if you could support me by buying me a coffee, or a book to read my baby Adaline. Please don’t feel like you have to though!
