CALM DOWN CARDS

Here is the newest download from Your
Therapy Source – Calm Down Cards. This is a
wonderful collection of photographs with
calming phrases to help children to calm
down. You can download a free poster – Just
Breathe.

This set of Calm Down Cards includes 30
full size photographs with calming
phrases (11″ by 8.5″ page) and smaller
size (4″ by 3″ cards). Print the full size
cards or the smaller size cards. You could
also laminate the smaller cards to place
on a key ring to toss in a calm down kit.
Children can simply use visual imagery
with the photos to help them calm down.
Another option is to view the
photographs with calming phrases and
music as a PowerPoint show on your
computer, tablet or phone.
The full color photographs encourage children to use visual imagery to help them to calm down
and return to a “ready to work” state. If you don’t want to print the Calm Down Cards, children
can view the full size pages on the computer, tablet or phone.
