Introduce the lesson with excitement. Explain to the students that today they will learn about how our brain and body work when we feel stress. Remind them that stress is a normal feeling that everyone experiences.

Explain what stress is in simple terms. Use examples like feeling nervous before a test or during a big game. Ask a few students to share times when they felt stressed.

Discuss how stress affects the body and the brain. Mention that when we feel stress, our heart beats faster and our brain works a bit differently. Use simple language and engaging visuals if possible.

Present some strategies the students can use to handle stress (deep breathing, talking to someone, taking a break). Encourage interaction by asking them which strategy they might like to try.

Wrap up the presentation by summarizing the key points covered. Ask the students if they have any questions or if they can recall one thing they learned today about stress.
