Starfish and Tornadoes

The goal: To help kids notice how much energy they’re feeling

inside. When they know they have too much energy, they can either

use their own calming skills or ask for help from a trusted adult.



How to play:
 

Make a picture of a thermometer. Draw a starfish at the bottom and

a tornado at the top. Ask if your child feels calm and peaceful like a

starfish or revved up like a tornado. When your child is feeling over-

energized, brainstorm together about ways to feel more like a

starfish. For example, bouncing a ball to help release some of that

energy.



Try playing this game at different times of the day and help your


child describe the energy levels. For example, if you play first thing

in the morning, you can say, “You like to snuggle and watch

cartoons.” Or, “I bet you could run up and down the stairs five times

before I finish making breakfast!”

​
Keep in mind: Self-awareness can help kids build a skill called self-regulation.

Self-regulation is about managing your internal energy. It helps kids manage their

emotions and their body movements during tough situations. It also helps them pay

attention and learn.

(Watch 
this video for more information about this game.)
