Classroom Calm Down Kit | Activities and Strategies for Emotional Regulation

Self regulation and problem solving skills are critical for students’ success in the classroom! The Classroom Calm Down Kit includes everything you need for a calming corner or peace table: grab calm down posters and books, deep breathing exercises, and calm down strategies for your students in one, ready-for-you kit. 

In the included How to Use guide, I walk you through how I introduce each part of the kit, and empower my students to build independence when using our classroom calm down corner. We practice: 

• How to identify our feelings 
• Deep breathing exercises 
• Strategies for calming down
• Strategies for solving problems 

Limited space? Social distancing requirements? This kit now includes a Personal Calm Down Book! Use it for: 

• Printing individual copies for each students’ book box
