Free Printable Surprised Worksheets for Special Education

Help children recognize and understand feelings of surprise with our free printable surprised worksheets, designed for children with autism, special education needs, and early learners. These social-emotional learning worksheets help children identify what surprise looks like, recognize how it feels in their bodies, and understand that unexpected events can bring both pleasant and unpleasant feelings. Through picture recognition, word tracing, cut-and-paste activities, matching exercises, and sequencing tasks, children can practice identifying surprised facial expressions, sorting nice and not-so-nice surprises, and exploring everyday situations such as opening a gift, hearing a loud noise, or discovering a change in plans. These printable feelings and emotions worksheets are ideal for parents, special education teachers, ABA therapists, and homeschool learning.

Our surprised worksheets for kids include three learning levels—Emerging, Developing, and Advanced—to support different developmental abilities. Activities include identifying surprised expressions, matching pictures with words, completing sentences, sequencing unexpected situations, creating a personal list of nice and not-so-nice surprises, and recognizing physical signs of surprise such as wide eyes, an open mouth, a fast heartbeat, jumping, freezing, and a tight tummy. Children also practice responding to real-life situations, such as a changed schedule, an unexpected gift, or a sudden loud noise, while learning that it is okay not to enjoy surprises and that they can ask what happens next. Download these free special education worksheets, autism worksheets, and emotional awareness activities to support emotional expression, flexibility, communication, coping skills, and self-regulation at home or in the classroom.
