Description
Do you work with students who struggle with self-regulation skills? Are there children you know who either move in slow motion or super fast speed? This Self-Regulation Activity with a Train theme includes a meditation and printable activities to help children learn to get their body into a “just right” state ready for learning.
The 6 page PDF packet and 5 minute MP3 audio mindful meditation about a “just right” green train will be available electronically immediately following payment.
How the Self Regulation Activity – Train Theme works:
- Download the meditation and activity packet.
- The student can listen to the train meditation and complete the fine motor, gross motor, and visual motor self-regulation activities.
- Students will improve their understanding of getting your body into a “just right” state for learning.
As children develop motor skills and process sensory information they start to understand how their body can move slow, fast and all the speeds in between. Over time, children begin to learn to self-regulate and determine their “just right” body state that is ready to learn.
Therapists, teachers, and parents can help students learn how to self-regulate by using the “Just Right” Train Theme packet and meditation by teaching them how to recognize when their body is ready to work.
Use the visual supports to have children practice moving at different speeds to determine their “just right” state. If children have trouble processing sensory information, you can use the visual supports for them to respond and reflect on their current level of arousal. Help children learn to self-regulate and determine their “just right” body state.
The color coding helps to reinforce with children their level of arousal. The color blue indicates a slow, sluggy or tired state of arousal. The color green indicates calm, focused and ready to learn. The red color indicates high energy or out of control emotions.
Use the meditation to compliment the lesson. Children can listen and use the coloring page or just listen and reflect.
