Description
Big emotions don’t come out of nowhere… the body gives clues first. Help students learn what their bodies are telling them with this Body Clues lesson and activity pack. This resource teaches students how to recognise body signals that happen with different emotions, so they can build emotional awareness and self regulation skills in a clear, supportive, real life way. This pack includes a full lesson taught through a social story, followed by a guided body scan activity, and interactive practice activities where students identify body clues linked to emotions. Perfect for supporting students who struggle to notice early body signals, or who only realise they are overwhelmed once the emotion feels “too big.” Students will learn: What body clues (body signals) are How to notice and name body clues in themselves That some clues are tiny and hard to notice, while others are big and obvious That body clues are different for each person How body clues can help them understand emotions earlier, before they escalate
