5-4-3-2-1 Calm Visual Poster

This 2-page poster teaches the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique — a mindfulness-based strategy that helps students self-regulate by engaging all five senses to anchor themselves in the present moment.

What You'll Learn

• The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding sequence: 5 things to see, 4 to touch, 3 to hear, 2 to smell, 1 to taste
• How to teach this strategy proactively so students can use it independently
• How to display the poster in a calm corner for student self-reference during dysregulation

Who Is This For
