Holiday Calm Down Plan

$0.00

Holiday Calm-Down Plan (Free Printable)

Give kids a simple, cozy way to handle big holiday feelings. Our Holiday Calm-Down Plan helps children spot their feelings, rate their “snowstorm,” and choose two calming tools (one for the body, one for breath/brain). It’s quick to teach, easy to use, and perfect for busy winter days.

Why it helps

  • Builds emotional awareness with kid-friendly icons

  • Teaches evidence-based regulation (movement + breathing + grounding)

  • Reduces meltdowns by making a clear plan before stress hits

  • Works at home, in classrooms, and in counseling sessions

What’s inside

  • Page 1: My Plan—identify a stressor, body clues, what helps, and trusted helpers

  • Page 2: Step-by-step calm-down menu (reindeer push-ups, snowman stretch, hot cocoa breaths, “twinkle-light” grounding, kind self-talk, and more)

How to use

  1. Print and review when your child is calm (2 minutes).

  2. Post on the fridge, desk, or calm corner.

  3. During big feelings, point to the steps: Circle feeling → Check snow-meter → Pick 2 tools → 2-minute timer → Recheck.

  4. Celebrate effort: “You used your calm plan—strong choice!”

Perfect for

Parents • Teachers • School counselors • Therapists • Holiday events and classrooms
