A free set of 12 printable discussion prompt cards for form time or PSHE — one card generates five to ten minutes of meaningful discussion with no preparation required. Print, cut, hand out. That’s it.
12 cards across 6 themes:

Naming Emotions — what emotion vocabulary is and why it matters
Understanding Triggers — internal and external triggers and why they affect us
The Body’s Response — physical warning signs and the heat-of-the-moment moment
Regulation Strategies — what actually works vs what just feels easier
Emotions & Others — the ripple effect of emotion in shared spaces
Empathy & Reflection — empathising without agreeing, and the 10% improvement question

Every card has a bold discussion question and a “if the conversation stalls” prompt underneath — so even a quiet group has somewhere to go. Print A4, cut along the dashed lines and laminate for repeated use.
Works for all secondary year groups. No PSHE specialism required.
