How does the Emotional regulation game for kids work?

Print the game components, cut out the cards and assemble the templates.

Children move around the board using a dice and land on different spaces:

• On a Zone Card space, they spin the zone spinner and answer a question in the colour that comes up.
• On a Calm Card space, they do a calming movement or breathing exercise.

For every task they complete, they earn a feeling token.

The goal: collect as many feeling tokens as possible while getting to know their own emotional world.

Who can use the Emotional regulation game for kids?

Make emotion regulation playful – choose Emotion Master and support children in feeling at home in their inner emotional world.

What do regulation zones teach?

The regulation zones (green, yellow, blue and red) help children notice which state they are in – for example calm, excited, sad or angry – and show them how they can return to a balanced “green zone” state.
This is a key foundation for emotion regulation, self-reflection and healthy relationships.
