Description
Transform your physical education or classroom space with the Regulation Strategies Tag Game—an engaging, active game that helps students practice emotional regulation strategies while having fun! Designed for all ages, this tag game incorporates movement and mindfulness, teaching students how to manage their emotions through physical play and self-awareness.
Product Features:
- Active and Engaging: This game combines the excitement of tag with trauma-informed self-regulation strategies. Students will run, dodge, and tag their peers while learning how to self-regulate their emotions in real-time.
- Incorporates Trauma-Informed Techniques: Each "safe zone" or "tagging moment" requires players to use self-regulation strategies such as deep breathing, grounding exercises, and mindful movement. This ensures that students practice emotional awareness and coping strategies in a dynamic, real-world context.
- Clear Instructions & Easy Setup: The game includes simple, easy-to-follow instructions for setting up and playing, along with different variations to accommodate all age levels and group sizes.
- Promotes Teamwork & Communication: Students work together to create a supportive environment for emotional regulation, learning how to communicate effectively, support peers, and practice empathy during the game.
- Versatile for Different Settings: While perfect for physical education classes, this game can also be used in group settings, mindfulness activities, recess, or as part of a wellness room practice.
How to Play:
- Setup: Designate “safe zones” and “tagging areas” in your classroom or outdoor space.
- Objective: Players engage in a game of tag where, when tagged, they must perform a regulation strategy. Another student who has not been tagged must then co-regulate with that student. Once the students are co-regulating or performing the same regulating strategy, they can return to the game.
- Practice Regulation: Players learn to pause and center themselves in the heat of play, helping them transfer these techniques into real-life situations.
Benefits for Students:
- Strengthens emotional self-regulation and resilience
- Provides a fun, active way to practice mindfulness and self-awareness
- Encourages cooperation, empathy, and communication between students
- Fosters a supportive classroom or playground environment
Empower your students to manage their emotions while staying active and engaged with the Regulation Strategies Tag Game!
Perfect for K-12 classrooms, PE classes, wellness rooms, or any setting where physical activity meets emotional growth.Regulation tag is something I use with my students to teach them how to regulate and co-regulate. I teach them regulation strategies prior (see regulation strategies poster in my TPT store) then they get reps in using the strategies in a tag game format.
“Scientists have discovered that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain, unless it is done in play, in which case it only takes 10 to 20 repetitions.” ~Karyn Purvis
