Lesson Plan

Worry Warriors Lesson Plan

Students will recognize sudden anxious thoughts by noticing physical cues (e.g., racing heart) and practice two simple calming strategies—deep breathing and a tactile craft—to manage worry in the moment.

Early awareness of anxiety signals and easy coping tools build self-confidence and emotional resilience, giving kindergartners a foundation to handle small worries independently and reduce disruptive behaviors.
