🎨 How to Complete the Worksheet:

1. Read each scenario on the puzzle pieces.
2. Decide which Zone it belongs to (Green, Blue, Yellow, Red).
3. Use a crayon to color the puzzle piece in the matching color.
4. Once colored, you can cut them out and assemble them like a puzzle — this helps reinforce emotional awareness and regulation skills.

💡 Note: The red zone is not used here because none of the scenarios describe extreme anger, rage, or overwhelming emotions.

This activity promotes emotional self-awareness and helps build self-regulation skills, especially useful in classrooms or therapy settings.
