This Calming and Alerting Activities Pack is a simple, visual guide to help children notice how their body feels and choose what they need - to support regulation, focus, or energise.

Created by a paediatric occupational therapist, this printable includes two one-page visual lists:

Calming Activities Page – gentle, grounding ideas to help kids slow down, relax, and feel safe.

Alerting Activities Page – energising, movement-based ideas to help kids wake up, focus, and get ready to learn.
