TheZones of Regulation curriculum:

Blue Zone – low levels of energy and down feelings, such as when we feel sad, tired, sick, or bored.
Green Zone – for when we feel calm energy and in control. We might feel happy, focused, content, or proud.
Yellow Zone –  describes when that energy starts to get higher, and our feelings get a little bigger. We might be feeling worried, embarrassed, silly, excited, frustrated, or fidgety.
Red Zone – when we have extremely high energy and big, intense feelings. We might feel really, really happy or elated, really angry or furious, panicked, devastated, terrified, or out of control.
