Kindergarten zones of regulation

These Zones of Regulation activities and strategies are beneficial to kids struggling with self-regulation and emotional control through coping strategies.

‘Inside out’ themed display for the zones of regulation. It includes the emotions felt in each zone, and the ways to stay calm and return back to green zones. Visuals to support SEN children as well.

4 class or small group lessons for teaching the zones of regulation

This is a zones of self regulation board. A student will walk up to the board and first look at the pictures of their classmates emotions under each color zone in order to figure out how they feel. Then they follow the column over to the right to the description words of that emotion in that zone. Lastly they look at what they can do in order to get out of a zone or stay in a zone. This allows students to manage their own behavior and to problem solve.

I've created this product to run along with the Zones of Regulations, making tools individually accessible for my students to use in each of the 4 zones. Each of my kiddos have popped their name on a booklet and use the visuals to remind themselves of the positive behaviour needed, with supports and tools if they find themselves wandering out.
