Try it out!

With this activity we will be focusing on recognizing which zone you are in and practicing some calming activities.

Zone Bingo

Practice identifying which zone you are in throughout the week! As you recognize how you are feeling throughout each day, mark it down on the bingo board! Once you have filled all the spaces for everything you felt throughout the week, send it back to me via email!

Bonus points: In your reading activities, fill out a “Zones Bingo” card for each character in the book you are reading. Have a discussion about which zone the character was in at those times and why.

In the link below, there are several different bingo boards so if you are printing the boards, please only print your desired number of boards.
