Mood Tracker Calendar 2026 - Track Moods, Notice Patterns and Explore Emotions

A year-long printable calendar designed to support emotional awareness, reflection, and organisation.

This printable calendar includes all 12 months of the year, with a daily colourable icon for mood tracking and space for notes and observations. It’s designed to be flexible, pressure-free, and suitable for everyday use at home, in schools, or in therapy or support settings.

About This Resource

This mood tracker calendar offers a simple, visual way for young people to track and manage their emotions over time.

Each day includes a small icon that young people colour in to match how they’re feeling. This creates a clear visual picture of mood patterns across weeks and months. Alongside this, space is provided for notes, reflections, or observations, helping teens connect moods with routines, events, habits, and triggers.

The calendar is designed to support awareness - there is no “good” or “bad” mood - just information that can help teens better understand themselves and recognise when their mental health is improving or when they might need extra support.

How to Use

1. Create a colour key
   At the start of each month, choose colours to represent different moods. We recommend using the same key all year for consistency.

2. Colour in each day
   Each day, take a moment to reflect and colour the icon that best matches how you feel.

3. Use the notes section
   Jot down anything that feels important - events, routines, changes, or patterns you notice.

4. Look back over time
   At the end of the month, notice any patterns or changes in colour and reflect on what might have influenced them.

5. Reach out if needed
   If you notice a consistent dip in mood or have concerns, it’s important to talk to a trusted adult or professional.

With our printable Mood Tracker Calendar, young people can track moods, spot patterns, and stay organised, helping them build self-awareness and confidence, and feel in control of their emotions.
