Lego Zones of Regulation Emotion Lesson

In this Lego themed lesson, students will learn about the different zones made up of feelings and energy levels. There are directions for lesson one and two. The first lesson is to teach about the zones and to use a Lego themed poster to help explain them. There is a link to a cute song using Lego characters and teaching about the zones. There are instructions on what students will do next to build a robot, tower or person made up of the color zone(s) they are feeling. For example, if the student is feeling happy and tired, the structure would be made up of green and blue bricks. It is important to buy either Legos or a generic brand of toy bricks for this lesson. After the students create their structures, they can share with a partner, group or class.

In the 2nd part of the lesson, students will discuss different types of strategies for how to move from the red, yellow or blue zones and get back to the green zone. They will then build a structure that represents a calm down strategy for them to use when they are in the other zones besides green and need to be focused to learn. For example students can build a cup to represent getting a drink of water. Then students will reflect on their learning by filling out a worksheet.

This is a fun, engaging, and hands-on lesson to teach about emotion regulation. It is suitable for kindergarten, first, second and third grades. Each student can bring home the poster to share with their families. Then families can reinforce these concepts at home with their children.
