Introduce the lesson by greeting the students and briefly describing the purpose of the session: managing testing anxiety. Emphasize that this session will provide tools and strategies they can use before and during tests.

Explain what testing anxiety is, and share some common feelings or symptoms that they might experience. Ask them to think about times when they felt nervous before a test.

This slide introduces deep breathing as a practical strategy. Demonstrate a simple deep breathing exercise and have the students try it out briefly.

Discuss the power of positive self-talk and how it can change our mindset during stressful times. Encourage students to come up with a few positive statements they could use.

Outline the activity where students will try out one of the strategies. Ask them to share their feelings before and after the practice to reinforce how these tools can help.

Conclude the lesson by summarizing the strategies covered. Reinforce the idea that these techniques are useful beyond tests and encourage students to continue practicing them.
