This engaging worksheet is designed to help students explore and appreciate the diverse talents and abilities within their own families, using the ‘Smarts’ wheel as a reference. The ‘Smarts’ wheel is inspired by the theory of multiple intelligences, which suggests that there are many different kinds of intelligence or “smarts,” such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist intelligences. By recognizing these varied forms of intelligence, the worksheet encourages students to see the unique strengths and skills of each family member.

This lesson teaches children the power of the brain and how to look after their wellbeing. The “brain engine” concept is a metaphor used to help children (and adults) understand and regulate their alertness levels. Think of your brain like an engine that can run at different speeds: fast, slow, or just right. When the brain engine is running too fast, you might feel hyperactive or anxious. If it’s running too slow, you might feel sluggish or tired. The goal is to get your brain engine running “just right,” meaning you feel alert, focused, and ready to learn or engage in activities. This metaphor teaches children strategies to adjust our brain engine’s speed to fit the task at hand, enhancing self-regulation, concentration, and overall well-being. Briefly explain the concept of the brain as an engine that can run fast, slow, or just right. Use simple metaphors like car speeds or animal movements to illustrate the idea. Have children assess their “brain engine” speed in the evening or night using the worksheet. You can also place the tool on their desk to use daily.

This innovative worksheet is designed for educators to guide children through the “Take 5” method for self-regulation, a simple yet effective technique that teaches students how to manage their emotions and physical responses in various situations.

Objectives: Understanding Self-Regulation: Introduce the concept of self-regulation and its importance in daily life, emphasizing how it helps us manage our emotions and actions. Learning the Take 5 Method: Teach children the “Take 5” method as a tool for self-regulation, involving five simple steps or actions that can help them return to a state of calm and focus. Identifying Personal Responses: Encourage children to explore and identify their own unique responses to stress or excitement and what strategies work best for them to slow down or speed up their “brain engine.” Creating Personalized Take 5 Plans: Guide students in creating their own “Take 5” plans, tailored to their individual needs and preferences for self-regulation.
