My Zones of Feelings 'Check-In' Chart in Auslan (Printable)
The My Zones of Feelings Check-In Chart in Auslan provides a vibrant, visual platform for children to delve into and articulate their emotions using Auslan. Distinctively featuring 24 emotions, the chart segregates feelings into four colour-coded zones: blue, green, yellow, and red. Each zone serves as an intuitive guide, aiding children in pinpointing their current emotional state and associating it with a specific colour. This not only simplifies the process of understanding feelings but also enriches their Auslan communication skills.
The images displayed on this resource are aimed to provide a broad understanding of the handshapes and movements required to sign different feelings in Auslan. It is recommended that you cross-reference these signs using resources within your local community.
This resource was developed in strong collaboration with multiple Auslan users, including Kirsten Mooney (Auslan teacher), David Grant (founder of Auslan with David, and Gail Smith (owner of Auslan Journey). We also consulted with the broader Deaf community to get their feedback on their preferred signs for the different feelings/emotions presented.
