Beginning Our Lesson on the Zones of Regulation!

🌈 Welcome, Explorers!

Hello, everyone! Today, we’re going to embark on a fantastic adventure into the world of emotions and feelings. Have you ever felt really happy like you could jump to the moon? Or maybe a little sad, like your favorite toy is lost? These feelings are just part of who we are!

🎨 What Are the Zones of Regulation?

Before we start our exploration, let’s meet our four special "zones." Each zone is like a different color in a box of crayons, and each one helps us understand how we’re feeling inside:

• Green Zone: This is when we feel good! We’re calm, focused, and ready to learn.
• Blue Zone: Here, we might feel a bit sad or tired. This can be when we need a little cuddle or time to relax.
• Yellow Zone: In the yellow zone, we might feel a little bit wiggly or frustrated. That’s okay; it’s good to know we can take a deep breath!
• Red Zone: Oh no! The red zone means we’re really angry or scared. But that’s okay; we just need to talk about it!

🎈 Let's Make It Fun!

To kick off our lesson, let’s create a Zones of Regulation Rainbow! Each of you will get a colored crayon that represents one of the four zones. We'll make a big rainbow poster together, and you can share a time when you felt that way!

How to Start:

1. Get Your Crayons: Each of you will receive a crayon in one of the four zones.
2. Share Your Story: When it’s your turn, tell us about a time you felt that color.
3. Color the Rainbow: As we listen, we’ll color in the poster to build our Zones of Regulation Rainbow!

🚀 Let the Adventure Begin!

Remember, understanding our feelings is the first step in learning how to take care of ourselves and our friends. Are you ready to explore the colors of our emotions together? Let’s dive in and discover more about the Zones of Regulation! 🌟
