Begin by asking students if they've ever felt nervous or worried about something. Explain that feeling anxious is normal and that everyone experiences it. Introduce the term 'anxiety' and provide a simple definition: 'Anxiety is when we feel really worried or scared about something, even if there's no danger.'

Hand out paper and markers. Ask students to draw what anxiety looks like to them. It could be a monster, a cloud, or anything they imagine when they're feeling anxious. After drawing, let a few students share their drawings and explain why they chose to draw anxiety that way.

Use the printable cards with different coping strategies written on them. Discuss each strategy (e.g., deep breathing, talking to someone, taking a break) and ask students which ones they think would help them when they feel anxious. Highlight that there are many ways to manage anxiety and it's important to find what works best for each person.

Recap the main points about anxiety and coping strategies. Remind students that it's okay to feel anxious and that they can talk to a trusted adult if they need help managing their feelings. Encourage students to practice the coping strategies discussed.
