Calm Down Card Game for Kids | Self-Regulation & Big Feelings Tools | Breathing, Movement & Sensory Cards | Classroom & Therapy SEL | Ages 5–12

RESET helps kids do something with a big feeling instead of getting stuck in it. Players check their energy, pick a body move, breath, or sensory tool, then notice how their body changes and choose what they need next. It's calm-down practice that feels like play.

Inside are four kinds of tools kids can reach for: Body Moves, Breath Tools, Sensory Tools, and Calm Down Places — built around well-known self-regulation techniques like deep pressure, heavy work, box breathing, and 5-4-3-2-1 grounding. The simple 1–5 energy scale helps even young or pre-reading kids name how activated they feel and track the shift after they reset.

Grounded in social-emotional learning and trauma-informed principles — choice always comes first, and any player can pass. Designed for classrooms, therapy and counseling sessions, and home.
