FREE Feellings Traffic Light Emotional Regulation Autism Inside Out Characters

Hello Educators,

Behaviour management today!

I love the emotional traffic lights! I may have not used the for years because of the nature of my current classes, but back in the days was a must!

In 2016 my students were obsessed with Inside out, so when I had to taught them about emotions, I used the characters from the movie to do so.

I do not have the same Template anymore in a digital form (I left it in my previous workplace) but I have put a picture of it to give you an idea how I used to use it! I know….it is too old (can you spot the yellow background on the symbols…. oh dear….). Anyway, my point is that I had anger, sadness, and joy as angry, worried and calm. I was moving the pictures of my students (or they were moving them themselves) on the relevant colour of the traffic light depending on how they were feeling/behaving at that time.

Three years ago, I have created another template (This I have it in a digital form!) and I have changed the sadness with fear to represent worried. I took that decision because I have noticed that a lot of my students started to built up their emotions when they were worried about changes, new people etc. so I though that fear was a better representation since they were not necessarily sad.

Once again, I was using the same system: moving their photos on the traffic lights (see my picture example).

I would recommend printing it in A3, so it will fit your students photos.
