This free mini-game is a small part of my larger collection of resources for supporting children with anxiety.

It is easy to use in the classroom, during an individual session, in a small group or at home. Simply print the pages, cut out and assemble the cubes, then start playing. The child rolls a cube and completes the task: breathing, moving, noticing body signals, checking an anxious thought, separating facts from assumptions, estimating how likely something is, asking for help or choosing one small brave step.

The free set includes cubes with short activities that help children:

calm their body and regulate breathing;
notice the physical signs of anxiety;
check anxious thoughts;
distinguish a real problem from a worry;
look for evidence for and against a thought;
separate facts from assumptions;
choose a manageable action;
ask an adult for help;
try a small “brave experiment.”

The game requires very little preparation and can be used at the beginning of a lesson, during a classroom wellbeing break, in a counselling session or as part of social-emotional learning.

This free resource is only a small sample of my complete anxiety collection. You can find more materials in my account, including books, practical activities for teachers and professionals, self-regulation techniques and a complete anxiety workbook for children.

This resource is completely free. Download it, print the pages, assemble the cubes and start playing.
