Use this craft and activity to teach coping strategies for anxiety, anger, stress, and other strong emotions. Kids and young adults will complete a lesson to learn about coping strategies and then create an ice pop craft with their individualized strategies chosen. This craft includes over 30 unique coping strategies for kids and young adults to choose from. This would be the perfect spring or summer activity while still focusing on learning critical skills! Why Teach Coping Strategies Coping strategies are any activity that can help calm emotions and stress. Kids and young adults may often experience difficult emotions but do not have appropriate coping strategies for dealing with those feelings. Just some of the coping strategies discussed and practiced within this resource include: listening to music, taking a walk, coloring, deep breathing, focusing on an object, using positive self-talk, practicing yoga, counting to ten, talking to a friend, and much more. How to Use Students will complete a worksheet that discusses and reviews the concept of coping strategies. To complete the craft, kids will select 2 or more coping strategies, cut out all the pieces, and glue them together. Note that step-by-step directions with photos are included to make it easy! Kids can add as many coping strategies to their ice pop to make it taller! The top of the ice pop says "I can...", encouraging kids to internalize using those strategies to help them manage emotions. After completing their craft, kids are encouraged to practice those strategies, as it is essential for kids to practice those strategies when they are calm. This will allow kids to learn how to use those same strategies when they are angry, sad, frustrated, or any other strong emotion. Alternatively, a blank version is available for kids to write in their own completely individualized strategies. Some of the strategies include: • Use positive self-talk • Write in a journal • Take a walk • Practice yoga • Think of a happy place • Slowly count to ten • Listen to music • Color or draw • Talk to someone • Read • Make a list of choices • Take 5 deep breaths • And many more!

Resilience is one of my favorite topics to teach. Here are 6 tools that will help bring classroom lessons and small groups to life.
Name your feelings and emotions better! Starting from the 8 basic emotions (Plutchik’s wheel of emotions), you can learn to label feelings better. Great for therapists, coaches, counselors, teachers, individuals and families. The colorful and logical arrangement of feelings, based on Plutchik’s theory and using the notion of opposites, makes it easier to pinpoint what you’re feeling and give a name to it. The wheel has a total of 48 different emotions on it, giving you an expanded range of vocabulary to express your emotions and helps others too.* The printable chart comes in two variations, one with the wheel alone (no quotation) and one with a caption under the wheel: “Whatever you can name you can start to manage”. This digital file is for personal use only. You may print and use it for your personal education. For commercial use, buy a separate commercial use or extended commercial use license on our shop. Files are in high quality PDF format. If you need a different format, contact me. *Our store has emotions wheels with a spectrum of emotions on them, from 8 to 128. In general, a smaller number of emotions is better to use for those beginning to explore their feelings or for younger people starting out. A large wheel with many different feelings on it can be overwhelming or confusing for some people, so be sure to check out our full range of products.

Kate es una niña con algunas inseguridades y temores. Por las mañanas no es capaz de prepararse para ir al colegio tan deprisa como les gustaría a sus padres. A diferencia de sus compañeros, que en ocasiones son un poco crueles, no sabe hacer bien la voltereta. Y hablar en público en clase la pone muy nerviosa... Eso le genera cierta ansiedad, pero no es nada que no pueda resolverse entrenando su mente para combatir la adversidad y ofrecer la mejor versión de sí misma. El coach Niels van Hove nos presenta un álbum infantil que pretende ayudar a los más pequeños a enfrentar sus inseguridades, lograr mayor serenidad y fortaleza mental y ser capaces de esforzarse y afrontar con seguridad los retos que les plantee su día a día.

Are you looking for an engaging activity to help students learn to manage their emotions? Use this lesson and hands-on activity to help kids learn strategies for managing their feelings and developing self-regulation skills. This is something that all learners need! Kids and young adults will identify emotions and coping strategies to help them manage those emotions. Then, they will put together a wheel craft that helps them identify their emotions and strategies on the spot. This craft includes over 20 unique coping strategies and 12 emotions for kids and young adults to choose from. Students can also make their own. Why Teach How to Manage Emotions Everyone experiences the ups and downs of emotions throughout the day or week. Teaching kids and young adults how to manage their emotions can help them cope with challenging feelings, including anger, sadness, frustration, worry, and more. The goal is that kids can learn to cope with those feelings by using healthy coping strategies in moments of stress. How to Use First, students will complete a worksheet that explains what it means to manage our emotions. Then, you can choose three different options for students to complete. Note that detailed student directions with photos are included for all three versions: Individualized Version - Students make their own wheels by cutting and pasting in their individualized strategies and emotions. Pre-Made Version - Students put together pre-made wheels that are already set up for them. This is a time-saving option with less cutting and gluing. They can still choose between different wheels that are already created. Blank Version - Students can make their own wheels by writing and coloring in their own emotions and strategies. This is a helpful option if you work with a student with completely individualized needs and strategies. Students will color, cut out, and put their wheels together. Let students practice understanding their emotions and strategies by playing with their wheels in partners or groups. Encourage students to read each others’ coping strategies and even practice them, when appropriate. This can be a great activity in small groups to discuss strategies and identify what works best for each individual student. Managing Emotions Lesson Included This activity isn't just a craft, but also a meaningful lesson on managing emotions. The student worksheet starts kids off understanding what it means to manage emotions and why it is an important social-emotional skill we all need. Coping Skills Tool for the Future! Best of all, kids can keep their Managing My Emotions Wheel for times when they need extra support. They can use it to help them pick a coping strategy when they are feeling anxious, stressed, sad, or angry.
