Welcome the students and introduce the concept of emotional regulation. Emphasize that this lesson will help them understand and manage their emotions better in everyday situations.

Encourage the students to think about different emotions and what triggers them. Use visuals if available (e.g., emotion faces or lists) to represent basic emotions such as happy, sad, angry, and surprised.

Detail the practical strategies. Make sure to explain and demonstrate techniques like deep breathing, pausing before reacting, and using positive self-talk, then encourage participation with role-play.

Wrap up the lesson with a group reflection. Ask guiding questions about how students can use these strategies in real-life situations and explain the importance of practicing these skills daily.
