SEL - Identifying Fears

Prompt children to begin a discussion about anxiety and fear using the My Fears worksheet. This worksheet will give your students an opportunity to discuss the feelings of fear and anxiety, why they are important, and how they can be harmful.

Children are asked to list their fears, describe their thoughts about the anxiety, identify where in their body they sense the feeling, and finally to create a plan for dealing with fear in the future.

The goal of this worksheet is to begin introducing children to the concept that thoughts and feelings are linked, and to increase awareness of their emotions by asking them to identify how their body responds to anxiety.
