Healthy Mind, Grades K-3

Help your youngest learners name what they feel and find calm, steady ways to handle big emotions with this 60-page Healthy Mind pack for kindergarten through third grade. The language stays simple and the print stays large, so early readers can work through the pages with a teacher, a parent, or on their own in a quiet corner. The pack opens with naming feelings: children read short everyday scenes and choose the feeling that fits, match six drawn faces to feeling words, check in on their own mood for the day, and mark a one-to-five feelings thermometer. Next they explore what sparks each feeling, practice safe choices when angry, kind and helpful choices when sad, and words to use when worried. Breathing pages teach balloon breathing and belly breathing step by step, and children build a calm-down corner list and a personal three-tool calm-down plan they can actually use. Sleep gets its own section, with a plain facts box on how much sleep young children need, a bedtime routine to put in order, and a screen-free wind-down sort. Kindness rounds out the pack: kind words to say to yourself, kind acts to check off during the week, and a gratitude list with space to draw. Games and review keep the learning playful: feelings charades, a big-feelings and small-feelings sort, true-or-false facts, a vocabulary match, a word search, a crossword, short stories with best-choice questions, a week-long feelings journal, two mixed reviews, two ten-question quizzes, feelings bingo, a calm-down toolkit to draw, and a self-portrait page. Teacher-only answer keys cover every activity on pages 39 to 59, and a Healthy Mind Star certificate closes the pack on page 60. Print the pages you need and start on page 3 — no preparation is needed.
