Brave & Bold Lesson Plan

Students will identify anxiety cues and practice three evidence-based coping strategies—deep breathing, positive self-talk, and peer support—through interactive activities, culminating in a collaborative Brave Bingo game to reinforce confidence and skill retention.

Adolescents often face heightened stress and lack coping skills. This lesson builds practical anxiety-management tools, fosters peer support, and boosts self-efficacy, helping 8th graders tackle worries proactively.
