Listen to calming music
Use a stress ball
Hug a stuffed animal
Sit quietly for 1 minute
Trace a shape slowly
Whisper a calming word
Tap your fingers gently
Do a butterfly hug
Close your eyes and count your breaths
Make a calm-down choice card
Rub your hands together
Flip through a calm-down book
Look at a calm-down poster
Take 5 deep breaths
Write how you feel
Pretend to blow up a balloon
Blow on your hands like it’s hot cocoa
Do a wall push
Use a breathing card
Name 5 things you see
Draw a rainbow
Do shoulder rolls
Read a favorite book
Trace your hand with your finger
Draw something peaceful
Stretch your arms and legs
Trace a spiral with your finger
Watch a glitter jar
Use a calm-down jar
Watch your belly move as you breathe
Color a calming picture
Take a drink of water
Squeeze and relax your hands
Smell something calming
Touch something soft
Use a fidget toy
Lay your head down and breathe
Gently rock in your chair
Imagine floating on a cloud
Count backwards from 10
