This fun Zones of Regulation print is a football-inspired poster that complements our Zones of Regulation Football activity or can be used alone.

This print aligns with the Zones of Regulation framework, which helps individuals identify and understand their emotions and self-regulate their behaviour. It also incorporates a football theme, making it engaging and relatable for children who enjoy sports.

The resource prompts children to identify and express how they are feeling, developing emotional literacy and self-awareness.

By using the Zones of Regulation, children learn strategies to regulate their emotions and stay in the "green zone" where they are calm, focused, and ready to participate.

The analogy of being on the pitch (actively engaged) or on the bench (in the rest zone) helps children understand the importance of staying in the green zone to fully participate and enjoy the game of life.
