Calm vs. Not Calm Choices Sorting Activity

Help kids develop emotional self-control and make better choices when they feel upset or overwhelmed!

Children experience big emotions, but they don’t always know how to handle them in a positive way. This activity teaches kids to recognize the difference between calm choices and not calm choices, helping them develop the skills they need to self-regulate and respond to challenges in a healthy way.

✔️ 15 Calm Choices – Includes deep breathing, asking for space, walking away, or talking to a trusted adult.
✔️ 15 Not Calm Choices – Covers negative reactions like yelling, hitting, throwing things, or storming off.
✔️ Interactive sorting worksheet to help reinforce emotional awareness.
✔️ Reflection questions to encourage self-reflection and better decision-making.

Perfect for anger management, emotional regulation, social-emotional learning (SEL), and behavior intervention plans!
