Lesson Plan

Fidget Friends Lesson Plan

In two 15-minute sessions, students will learn to handle fidget tools responsibly and use them to manage their focus and emotions. By the end, they will identify when to use fidgets and practice a calm-down strategy.

Building self-regulation helps students stay focused and calm, reducing distractions and creating a supportive classroom environment. Mastering fidget use empowers learners to manage their feelings independently.
