Calm Mind Skills Worksheet

Everyone has big feelings sometimes. Practise these tools when you feel ready. You can skip an activity that feels uncomfortable and talk with a trusted adult if you need help.

On the bus: notice the feeling

Isla, Layla and Cooper are riding a city bus after a busy day. The bus is noisier than Isla expected, and she notices her shoulders feel tight. Feelings can give us clues, but they do not have to control what we do next.

1.Isla's shoulders feel tight when the bus gets noisy. Which is a helpful first step for her?
  • Notice the feeling and pause
  • Tell herself she must not feel anything
  • Push past other passengers
2.Choose one word that could describe how Isla might feel: worried, excited, annoyed or calm. Explain one clue from the story that helped you choose.

Try a calm tool

Calm tools do not make every problem disappear. They can help your body settle enough to decide what to do next.

3.Isla wants to try slow breathing. Which instruction is safest and most helpful?
  • Breathe gently in, then let the breath out slowly; stop if it feels uncomfortable
  • Hold your breath for as long as possible
  • Breathe as fast as you can
4.Practise three gentle breaths. Write one way your body felt before and one way it felt afterwards. There is no wrong feeling.
5.Cooper is distracted by bus sounds. Name one thing he could see, one thing he could feel, and one thing he could hear to help him notice the present moment.
6.Which sentence is kind and helpful self-talk for Layla if she feels nervous?
  • I can take a moment and ask for help if I need it
  • I am silly for feeling nervous
  • I have to fix everything right now
7.True or false: Different people can feel different things in the same situation, and both feelings can be real.
TrueFalse
8.Match each calm tool with what it can help you do.
  • Slow breathing
  • Notice your senses
  • Helpful self-talk
  • Pay attention to what is happening now
  • Gently settle your body
  • Remind yourself of a kind, useful next step
9.Imagine the bus still feels too noisy after Isla tries a calm tool. Write one safe next step she could take.
10.Finish the sentence with a tool you would be willing to try: “If I feel overwhelmed, I could…”
