Lesson Plan

Calm in the Crowd Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice simple emotional regulation techniques to stay calm in busy, noisy school settings like hallways, cafeterias, and club meetings, and create a personal coping plan.

Middle schoolers often feel overwhelmed in bustling environments; building self-awareness and coping tools helps them manage stress, stay engaged, and feel more confident in day-to-day school life.
