I have several students on my caseload who struggle with anger management and emotional regulation. I loved this idea for Cool Down Cubes from Entirely Elementary and decided to make a set of my own. Supplies: Plastic ice cubes - I purchased a bag of 30 from Bed Bath & Beyond for less than $4 Container - The one pictured came from the Dollar Store Permanent maker Using a permanent marker write a safe "cool down" strategy on each ice cube. For example: count to ten, walk away, talk to a friend, take three deep breaths, etc. I also left a few of the cubes blank so that the students could come up with their own strategies. The original post suggested placing the ice cubes in the freezer for an additional "cool" effect. That's it! Easy right? I have used the Cool Down Cubes in both individual and group settings to discuss ways to "cool-off" when angry and have gotten a great response from students.

Breathing exercises involve taking slow, steady breaths on purpose. Fortunately, there are easy breathing exercises tailored just for them, so they have a simple way to manage difficult feelings. The Breathing Exercises for Kids handout helps kids adopt breathing patterns to calm their mood in moments of stress or anxiety. It features ten simple exercises, which include smelling flowers, blowing a candle, and sipping hot chocolate. Each exercise involves only two to three steps for kids to easily follow. Using this handout helps kids feel less tense, which can lower their stress levels and detach from distracting thoughts and sensations. They can practice hot air balloon breathing before a stressful event, such as an exam or going to the dentist. To make a breathing technique fun and easier to recall, parents and teachers can use creative visuals or props! For example, when showing the bunny breathing exercise, they can pretend to hop like a bunny while taking slow breaths. *This item is an instant digital download.
