Calm Down Corner Printables | Coping Skills for Emotional Regulation & SEL

A calm corner is an essential social emotional learning tool for every K-3 elementary classroom. If you need to create a space where students can learn to independently manage their feelings and use coping tools, this calm corner is it.

The calm down corner is set up to step-by-step guide students through self regulation. They identify feelings, choose calming strategies, reflect on how they worked, and decide if they are ready to return to learning.

WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

"The "Take a Break" spot is one of the most-used areas of my classroom. I like that students have to identify their feelings and find a strategy that will help them calm down. If you're thinking of having a cooldown area in your classroom, I would highly recommend this product!"

"I love the visuals that are on this product. My kinders come back to learning with a clear mind after a minute or two in the calm down corner."

"It is convenient, and I love items that kids can not only utilize to calm down but are hands on so they can take more ownership of their feelings."

"Why didn't I buy this sooner?! So many options for how to print and use and a great resource. Taught how to use it in a first grade room and students love it!"
