Lesson Plan

Safe Hands & Zones Plan

Students will learn to define ‘safe hands’ and personal body space, recognize and label their feelings using the Zones of Regulation, and practice strategies to stay in the green zone.

Building self-awareness and emotional regulation in kindergarteners fosters personal safety, healthy interactions, and better classroom behavior by helping them understand boundaries and manage big feelings.
