About the resource

There are things I can do that help whwen I feel angry. I can take deep calming breaths.

I can move! I can race around the playground. I can go for a walk. I can play with a friend and have a fun talk.

I can move a little. I can move a lot. I can give it everything I've got.

Emotion regulation involves recognising, managing and expressing emotions in adaptive ways. It allows children to learn, socialise and engage in daily activities. Some students may need extra support and time to learn emotion regulation skills. AllPlay Learn’s Emotion and movement story series teaches children that fun moving activities can be used to help express or regular their emotions in healthy ways. It is important to remember that moving is just one strategy that can be used to cope with emotions, and that this may not work for everyone.
