Anxiety Triggers Activity

Description

This interactive activity teaches students to identify their anxiety triggers. Understanding the “why” and the “when” is a critical step in helping students understand, manage, and cope with anxiety!

✨ Here’s how it works:

1. Students learn how to use an Anxiety Scale and the definition of anxiety triggers.
2. Students review 24 anxiety triggers cards and decide if the situation would make them feel “calm,” “worried,” or “panicked.” Then, students place the card on the label that corresponds with how they would feel.
3. Finally, students choose 6 of the anxiety triggers that panic them the most and place them on the “My Top Six Anxiety Triggers” page.

⭐ THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:

✅ Anxiety Scale poster
✅ Definition of anxiety triggers poster
✅ “My Top Six Anxiety Triggers” page
✅ 24 anxiety trigger cards
✅ 3 labels to sort the trigger cards into piles: calm, worried, and panicked
✅ All materials available in full color and black/white
✅ Alignment to ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors

❤️ This activity works best with individual students and small groups, but can be used with whole group as well!
