UK Edition: Feelings Size Meter and Check Ins, SEND, KS4 and Post-16

A feelings size meter for pupils with SEND and SEMH. Many pupils can tell me they are angry but not how angry, and that matters when choosing what to do next.

What's included

• Feelings size meter: tiny, medium, big and huge, with what each feels like and what I can do

• Desk strips

• Teaching examples from everyday adult life

• Daily check ins for younger pupils

• Weekly log for older pupils

• My size, my tool page that matches each size to a calming tool

How I use it

I teach the sizes when everyone is calm, using small examples from my own day, like a jammed photocopier. Then we do quick check ins at the start of the day and after break. The weekly log helps older pupils spot their own patterns.

Good for KS1 to KS4.

Format: PDF, 3 A4 pages.
