DescriptionThese calming strategies bookmarks, posters, and coloring pages have positive suggestions and coping skills for managing big feelings. This SEL activity teaches self-regulation skills for when students are feeling sad, frustrated, lonely, anxious, angry, and scared.When kids feel more in control of their feelings and responses, it improves wellbeing and encourages good behavior in your classroom. The posters and bookmarks are available in color but also in black outlines so you can use them as coloring pages or a mindfulness activity for your calm down corner. As students color 8 coping skills for each challenging emotion, they are reading strategies over and over to help them remember ways to self-soothe when they need to calm down. Coloring sheets can be used for early finishers, substitute teachers, or as an engaging homework assignment. Coloring also helps to develop their fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and control needed for writing. ⭐ Why Teachers Choose This Coping Strategies Resource"This resource is the perfect way to have students identify their emotions and consider strategies that they can use to regulate. The fact that the bookmarks are black and white, colouring in the strategy is such a good start to practising mindfulness while thinking about strategies. This resource is so, very much worth the money. It is jam packed with not only the bookmarks, but colouring pages too that younger students could colour during mindfulness time or as a supporting resource to learning. I love this resource!
