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.
