Anxiety and Calming Strategies Bingo

Anxiety and Calming Strategies Bingo
, Not Grade Specific,

The bingo pages frame coping practice as noticing and recording when a strategy is used. Prefilled boards include simple calming options involving breathing, senses, positive self-talk, drawing, hydration, comfort objects, and fidgets, while blank boards let learners add preferred strategies. Both colour and colour spelling versions are provided. The activity can support a broader wellbeing plan, but it is not a substitute for individualized mental-health support.
