Product description

From the author

In this product, you will get 4 coloring sheets with different coping skills strategies on them. You will also get a sheet with 16 coping skills altogether. This is a great tool for students dealing with big feelings, a loss, or going through a transition. Students can also color the coping skills they could use at home and school on the 16 skills sheet. The sel coloring pages have pictures of a butterfly, teddy bear, umbrella and beach ball. These are wonderful for whole class activities, one on one school counseling, group SEL activities and more.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students identify and name a personal coping strategy for managing stress or big feelings.

  • Students associate each of sixteen coping strategies with a specific shape and color through the coloring activity.

  • Students use the reference page to recall the full menu of strategies independent of any single shape.

Teaching tips

  • Introduce the reference page first so students see all sixteen strategies before choosing which ones to color into each shape.

  • Use the four shapes as a rotation across a week (one per day) rather than assigning all four in a single sitting, since each covers a distinct set of strategies.

  • Pair the activity with a calm-down corner or self-regulation routine already in place in your classroom, since the pages name concrete actions (walk, breathe, talk to an adult) rather than abstract feelings vocabulary.

Skills covered

  • Coping-strategy identification — students name and color specific self-regulation actions such as taking a walk, breathing, or asking for a hug.

  • Color-code following — students match each written strategy to its assigned color within a shape outline.

  • Self-regulation vocabulary — students encounter and reuse terms like ‘peaceful place’ and ‘deep breath’ across multiple pages.
