Designed specifically for young learners and special education students, this printable pack offers hands-on activities to support teaching stress management, emotional regulation, and positive self-esteem.
 
Available in a Money-Saving Bundle of 6 Health Units! 
 
Included Activities:
Soothers & Stressors Sort
Help students recognize what stresses them out and what helps them feel calm. Students will sort "stressors" (like loud noises or getting hurt) from "soothers" (like taking deep breaths or hugging a stuffed animal).
 
I Can Be Calm Activity
Teach calming strategies with this interactive stone-based activity. Students select “calm stones” (with strategies like deep breathing or counting to 10) and cut and paste them onto a calming scene, creating their personal Calm Down Toolkit.
 
Shield of Strengths
Build confidence by helping students create their very own “Shield of Strengths.” They’ll choose cards to reflect their talents, favorite things, caring relationships, and positive traits, then build a shield that showcases everything that makes them special!
