ZONES UNO

GOALS: perspective taking, emotional regulation, expressive language

The materials in this package are adapted from Leah Kuyper’s wonderful book on self-regulation, The Zones of Regulation® (2011), published by Social Thinking Publishing.

DIRECTIONS:

1. It is important that you are familiarized with the Zones of Regulation before using these materials. If you are unfamiliar with the curriculum, here is a quick review from Leah Kuyper’s website:

“The Red Zone is used to describe extremely heightened states of alertness and intense emotions. A person may be elated or experiencing anger, rage, explosive behavior, devastation, or terror when in the Red Zone. A person is described as “out of control” if in the Red Zone.

The Yellow Zone is also used to describe a heightened state of alertness and elevated emotions; however, one has some control when they are in the Yellow Zone. A person may be experiencing stress, frustration, anxiety, excitement, silliness, the wiggles, or nervousness when in the Yellow Zone.

The Green Zone is used to describe a calm state of alertness. A person may be described as happy, focused, content, or ready to learn when in the Green Zone. This is the Zone students predominately need to be in the classroom.

The Blue Zone is used to describe low states of alertness, such as when one feels sad, tired, sick, or bored."

HOW TO PLAY:

1. Deal 7 cards per player; create a draw pile with remaining cards.

2. Turn up first card in draw pile.

3. Have the first player match the discard card. Discuss the scenario/question if presented.

4. Play a Wild Card anytime.

5. Draw from the draw pile if no match is made.

6. Pass to next player.

7. Shout "Uno!" when you have one card left.
