The 'show not tell' technique is where the writer shows the reader how a character is feeling by using descriptions of senses and actions, rather than simply naming the emotion. This Show Not tell KS2 Examples sheet suggests different actions and behaviours for a range of different emotions.

You might also want to take a look at our Journey KS2 English scheme of work (where this technique is taught in lesson 3.)
