Lesson Plan

Catch Your Calm Lesson Plan

Students will identify and name common emotions, learn two simple breathing techniques, and practice calming strategies in an active beach-ball game to build self-awareness and emotional regulation skills.

Developing emotional regulation helps students recognize feelings, reduce overwhelm, and use healthy coping skills, improving classroom engagement and well-being.
