Self-Regulation Tool Cards

BELONG Partners has created this set of tool cards to help you, your students, and families practice self-regulation skills. We like to print these cards, hole-punch the top corner of each one, and put them on a ring.

There are many ways to use them! One local school printed the 8 cards that have the most helpful age-appropriate activities for kindergartners, modeled the activities for the kids at a kindergarten readiness session, and then sent copies of the cards home with the parents. Those kindergartners will come to school already knowing some very valuable self-regulation skills!

We make these cards available as a free resource to our community!

Enter your name and email to receive a downloadable PDF of the full set of 60 activity cards (plus blanks to write in your own ideas). You’ll also receive our monthly newsletters and other occasional emails. You can unsubscribe at any time.
