D.I.Y Feelings Check-In Board - Zones Edition (featuring The Scribbles Crew)

The ‘Emotions Check-In’ board has been designed to support children and young people with identifying their feelings and emotions.
Sometimes it is difficult to identify exactly how you are feeling. As adults, we can struggle to find the words. This check-in board invites children to create their own self-regulation Zones resource.
This resource features The Scribbles Crew, a group of friendly looking emotions characters that can be created by any child. They are just that: scribbles!
This resource has been inspired by the theory created by Kuypers on self-regulation and emotional regulation.
How could this resource be used?
- To support emotional regulation.
- To support emotional literacy and identifying different emotions.
- To support a child 1:1.
