Calm Down Worksheet | Middle School & High School | SEL & Classroom Management

When a student needs to calm down but does not know how, teaching them coping skills becomes very important. This worksheet uses real counseling techniques to help you achieve a trauma-informed classroom. It will work with any class, and not just for band or orchestra.

This worksheet can be given to students to complete in the back of the classroom and walks students through identifying feelings, breathing, positive self-talk, and returning to class. Meant for middle and high school students, the list of feelings is more comprehensive than what would normally be given to an elementary student. Turning in the worksheet is optional as to give students privacy in managing their emotions. This worksheet can be used in step 2 of my classroom management policy.
