‘My Feelings Volcano Bookmark’ has been designed to support children and young people with regulating their emotions using the 5 Point Scale.

The volcano encourages children and young people to identify where on the scale they are feeling and what they can do to support.

It has the option for ‘I can…’ activities to be added to the back. This should be completed in collaboration with the young person.

How could this resource be used?

• To support emotional regulation.
• To support emotional literacy and identifying feelings on a scale.
• To support a child 1:1.
• We offer a display poster version of this for a whole class display.
