Product description

From the author

Use a four-zone visual meter to help a child communicate Calm, Frustrated, Angry or Furious. The colored sections and face illustrations offer a way to point to a feeling during a check-in.

The updated PDF contains emoji-face and child-face designs plus a credits page. A separate PDF contains the earlier emoji-face meter. Model how to use the chosen design and pair it with a familiar classroom support routine.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students identify their current level of anger by matching it to one of four labeled zones (Calm, Frustrated, Angry, Furious) on a color-coded scale.

  • Students build vocabulary for graduated stages of anger rather than a single good/bad label.

Teaching tips

  • Compare the updated emoji-face and child-face designs with the earlier meter before printing to pick the graphic style that best matches other SEL materials already in use.

  • Because the scale uses only four short color-coded labels, pair it with a quick point-to-your-zone check-in routine rather than one requiring writing or speaking.

Skills covered

  • Emotion identification — students match an internal feeling state to one of four labeled zones (Calm, Frustrated, Angry, Furious) on a visual scale.

  • Self-monitoring — students use color and word cues to notice and name rising frustration before it escalates.
