Lesson Plan
Regulation Rangers Lesson Plan
Students will learn to identify and express basic emotions, practice a calming breathing technique, and engage in cooperative play using a predictable visual routine. Actionable goals: recognize each step of the “Regulation Rangers” routine, use the breath ball to calm down, and share feelings using emotion tools.
Early self-regulation and social skills lay the foundation for classroom success. This predictable, visual, interactive lesson helps kindergarteners build emotional awareness, calming strategies, and peer cooperation in a fun, inclusive way.
