Lesson Plan
Which Zone Are You In? Lesson Plan
Students will identify emotions using the four Zones of Regulation (Blue, Green, Yellow, Red) and practice placing emotion and scenario cards in the correct zone to build self-awareness and regulation skills.
Labeling and regulating emotions helps children develop self-control, social skills, and a positive learning environment by recognizing feelings early and applying coping strategies.
