Welcome students and introduce yourself. Explain that today we’ll learn what test anxiety is and how to feel calmer before and during tests.

Ask: “How do you feel before a test?” Encourage volunteers. Define test anxiety as feeling butterflies or nerves before a quiz or exam. Share a quick personal example.

Display the steps poster in the room or on the screen. Demonstrate each step slowly. Guide the class through three breaths, counting aloud.

Explain why what we say to ourselves matters. Hand each student a card. Have them practice with a partner and share their favorite phrase aloud.

Divide the class into groups and hand out scenario cards. Circulate and prompt students to use breathing or self-talk. Encourage everyone to try both roles.

Distribute the worksheet. Remind students they can visit the calm corner anytime. Close with praise for their effort.
