Challenge: Some children might rush through the regulation steps without fully engaging. Tip: The teacher should emphasize that the point is to practice the skills, not just win. The teacher can walk alongside players, modelling slow breathing or calm body language.
Challenge: Other children might get stuck naming emotions, so the teacher can provide a visual emotion chart at each station for support. Tip: If some children become too competitive, the teacher can shift the focus to team cooperation, encouraging teammates to cheer for each other’s regulation strategies.
