Blue Zone
Tired • Low Energy • Sluggish

Green Zone
Calm • Focused • Ready to Learn
"When I'm in the Green Zone, I feel calm and peaceful. My body is ready to learn and my mind is focused!"
Yellow Zone
Excited • Elevated • Energized
"When I'm in the Yellow Zone, I have BIG energy! I feel excited, silly, or sometimes worried. I need help calming down!"
Red Zone
Angry • Frustrated • Intense
"When I'm in the Red Zone, my feelings are VERY BIG! I feel angry, mad, or out of control. I need help to cool down and feel safe!"
Real results from real special education classrooms
"My nonverbal student started using the creatures to show me how she feels. She'd hand me Crabby when she needed a break or Manny when she was ready to work. This gave her a VOICE."
Autism Support Classroom Teacher
"The scripted lessons are a lifesaver. I can teach this right out of the box with ZERO prep time. My students are finally learning emotional regulation skills that stick."
Resource Room Teacher, Grades 3-5
