Emotions, Zones of Regulation

15-Page Emotions & Zones of Regulation Activity Booklet

This 15-page activity booklet is designed to help children understand their emotions, recognise how they feel, and learn simple strategies to manage big feelings in a safe and supportive way.

Using the Zones of Regulation framework, children are guided to explore emotions through colour-coded zones (Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red), helping them identify how their body and mind feel in different situations. The activities encourage self-awareness, emotional literacy, and early self-regulation skills.

Inside the booklet you’ll find:

• Emotion identification activities
• Zones of Regulation colour matching and sorting
• “How I feel today” check-ins
• Body signals and emotion awareness pages
• Calm-down and regulation strategy prompts
• Drawing and reflection activities to support expression
• Child-friendly layouts suitable for independent or supported use

This resource is ideal for:

• Children aged approximately 4–10 years
• Schools, pastoral support, ELSA sessions, SEN support, and nurture groups
• Home use with parents and carers
• Children with SEMH needs, anxiety, ADHD, or emotional regulation difficulties

The booklet is print-friendly, easy to use, and can be revisited regularly as part of emotional check-ins or well-being routines. It supports children in understanding that all emotions are valid and gives them tools to move towards calm and regulation in a positive way.
