Emotional Regulation Toolkit!

Support the emotional wellbeing of your students with this practical, ready-to-use emotional regulation pack covering everything from in-the-moment calming strategies to daily mood tracking. Designed for both primary and secondary students, this pack gives teachers and support staff a versatile set of tools to help young people identify, express, and manage their emotions more effectively.

What’s Inside
An 11 page PDF containing the following:

1. DIY Stress Ball Instructions — A visual, step-by-step guide for making a stress ball using everyday materials. This hands-on activity doubles as both a calming tool and a practical sensory resource students can keep and use independently.
2. Breathing Techniques (4 visual guides) — Four printable breathing technique guides, each presenting a different method through a clear, finger-tracing visual format.
3. Mental Health Tracker – Secondary — A daily self-monitoring tool designed for older students to check in with their emotional state, sleep quality, and sense of gratitude. Designed for regular daily use as part of a wellbeing routine.
4. Feelings Check-In – Primary (3 versions) — Three simple, student-facing check-in sheets for younger learners to name their current emotion, explain why they feel that way, and identify something that might help.
5. Mood Tracker — A full-year calendar-style tracker covering all 31 days across every month of the year.

How to Use
Use the breathing technique guides as classroom displays, intervention resources, or take-home tools for students who need in-the-moment calming strategies. The stress ball instructions work well as a whole-class or small group activity at the start of a wellbeing unit. The feelings check-in sheets are ideal for daily morning meetings, pastoral check-ins, or as a settling activity at the start of lessons. The mental health tracker and mood tracker are best used consistently over time — either independently by students or as part of a structured wellbeing or PSHE programme.
