(Self-Regulation, Problem Solving)

 Definition of Terms
Self-regulation
Self-regulation is key to achieving a sense of equilibrium
mentally, physical and emotionally. Since the mind and
body are intricately connected, one’s ability to manage
strong emotions are key to healthy daily functioning.
 Definition of Terms
Problem Solving
This critical life skill can be learned through any process
that involves art making. It can begin with resolving the
simple dilemma between choosing blue or green to color
or deciding what colors to mix to make a new color or
deciding on one’s own specific rhythm or beat in a song or
a dance sequence.
 PURPOSE

stress release and practice
self regulation through an
interactive activity that
involves movement and
imagination.

GROUPINGS
Pairs (Group of 2)
DIRECTIONS
Be respectful, listen,
take turns, avoid
judgment,
everything shared is
confidential.
 Direction 1

Ask learners to get into pairs (groups of 2) and stand anywhere in the
room (or have them line up in parallel lines with the partners facing each other
and a few feet of space between each neighboring person). The pairs should
face each other so that one person is A and the other is B. They can also walk
or run around the space.
 Direction 2

A begins as the leader by making movements (in silence) and the B follows (mirrors
back) the movements. The teacher can provide instructions during this process (such
as do fast movements or do slow movements). The process goes on for about 2
minutes.

 WRAP UP DISCUSSION /
ACTIVITY
Our energy and how we regulate our
bodies affects others. Our stress can
become their stress. It’s important for us to
pay attention to how our bodies feel.
When we pay attention to ourselves and
our bodies, we are able to be present
to others in an honest and supportive way.
