Anxiety Thermometer

Anxiety Thermometer
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities

Monitoring anxiety is essential for emotional health. This creative worksheet helps kids visualize their stress levels using a simple yet insightful “thermometer” model illustrating low, moderate, and high amounts of worry alongside a space for children to fill in their own tailored calming strategies. The Anxiety Thermometer features a vertical scale with increasing degrees of anxious feelings depicted in different shades of purple. Students circle where their concern currently registers. Prompts then encourage writing specific situations that spike their thermometers into each zone, like test stress or social evaluations. There’s also space to brainstorm personalized coping tactics to implement when reaching different levels of emotional arousal. This versatile tool increases self-awareness around triggers and appropriate responses - key skills for independent regulation. Teachers can display it in classrooms and have students check-in during escalated moments. Counselors can reference it in sessions exploring anxiety. Caregivers can also employ it at home when tensions run high. The engaging thermometer makes tracking emotional patterns feel non-threatening for young children through teens. Instead of harshly suppressed anxiety, kids gain the ability to name worries early and apply tailored calming skills. Over time, staying ahead of their anxiety prevents boiling over into crisis territory. Simple yet tremendously insightful, this worksheet transforms emotional awareness into empowered action. By honoring all feelings with compassion, children build resilience to thrive. Included in this resource is 1 PDF worksheet

Some of the statements are; I like tacos, I have a pet, I have a sibling, I play a sport, I like sushi, I prefer outside to inside, I am an optimist, I like board games , my name has more than 5 letters, I have traveled outside the country, I speak more than one language, and I love gardening-among more.

Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Life Skills, Social Skills, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Activities

Help take the frustration on of winning and losing games by helping students learn about good sportsmanship. Have students learn that there are good ways to win and good ways to lose as well as negative ways of winning and losing. What is Included: This activity includes an instructional page as well as thumbs up and thumbs down cards. There are also 8 clip cards with various scenarios around kids winning and losing games for students to determine who had a good response and who had a negative response. How to Use: One way to use this activity is to give each student a set of thumbs up and thumbs down cards. The teacher will read the scenario on the card and students will hold up a thumb card depending on if the child in the scenario did the right thing or the wrong thing. A second way to use this activity is to have the students use clips to mark the correct answer for each scenario. Older students who are able to read on their own will be able to complete the activity this way. When to Use: This activity makes a great whole class activity by having students all listen to the scenarios together and hold up the correct card. The teacher can then discuss with students why the student made a good choice or bad choice. The clip cards can be used during center rotations, morning work, or small groups. Learning this skill is important for students so that they understand the feelings of others and how their actions can affect other people's emotions. This activity is low prep. The cards just need to be printed and cut apart. Laminating the thumbs up and thumbs down cards will allow them to be used multiple times. The cards can easily be stored in a task box when not in use.
