Welcome everyone! Introduce yourself and explain that today we are the Chill Champs. Share that we’ll learn about anxiety, notice how our bodies tell us we’re anxious, and practice two simple calming strategies.

Hand out Emotion Thermometer Cards and invite each student to choose the card that matches how they feel right now. Be warm and encouraging as students share.

Define anxiety in simple terms: “Anxiety is our body’s alarm system. It tells us something feels tricky or scary.” Use everyday examples like a test or speaking in front of class.

Display the Anxiety Signs Poster. Read each sign and ask students to raise their hand if they’ve felt it. Validate their experiences.

Introduce the Breathing Exercise Script. Guide students through 5 minutes of deep breathing: inhale for 4, hold 2, exhale 6. Afterward, ask how their body feels. Use: [Breathing Exercise Script](#breathing-exercise-script)

Use the Progressive Muscle Relaxation Guide. Lead students through tensing and releasing major muscle groups. Watch their comfort level and adjust pacing as needed. Use: [Progressive Muscle Relaxation Guide](#pmr-guide)

Pass out Chill Champs Reflection Worksheets. Encourage students to draw or write their favorite strategy and one place they could use it. Close with praise and remind them to practice daily.
