Lesson Plan

Calm Down Crew Lesson Plan

Students will learn two easy coping skills—deep breathing and mindfulness stretches—to recognize and manage big feelings and practice self-regulation.

Teaching coping skills in Pre-K helps young learners identify emotions, develop self-regulation, and build a calm, supportive classroom environment that fosters emotional wellbeing.
