Help students choose one small, practical action when they need a moment to regroup. “Make a Reset Plan” offers five simple options for the next five minutes, followed by prompts to decide where to try their chosen strategy and reflect on what they notice afterward.

The clear checklist gives students a starting point when figuring out what to do next feels difficult.

Students can choose from:

Slow breathing.

Getting water or a snack.

Moving, stretching, or shaking it out.

Taking a quiet break.

Texting or talking to a safe person.

What’s included: One black-and-white worksheet featuring five coping options with checkboxes and three writing prompts: the reset they will try, where they can do it, and what they notice afterward.

Use with middle and high school students during individual counseling, small groups, classroom breaks, or social-emotional learning activities. It works well for practicing a brief reset and helping students identify options they can use in everyday situations.
