Introduce the lesson with energy. Explain that today the students will become superheroes by learning how to use coping skills to manage their stress and emotions.

Read the short story about a superhero who uses coping skills. Engage students by asking if they have ever felt stressed and what they do to feel better.

Present a slide that outlines different emotions and triggers of stress. Introduce coping strategies: deep breathing, talking to an adult, and positive self-talk. Encourage reflective discussion.

Explain the role-play activity. Encourage students to work in pairs/small groups and act out situations using a coping strategy. Remind them that they are the superheroes!

Wrap up by discussing which coping strategies worked best in their role-play activity. Encourage students to share their experiences and promise practice at home.

End the session with a motivational message and recap of the lesson. Encourage the students to practice these strategies outside of school as well.
