Introduce the topic by welcoming students. Explain that anxiety is a normal feeling, and today we will learn more about it, including why it happens and how to manage it effectively. Encourage students to think of examples from their own lives as you speak.

Discuss common triggers in more detail. Ask students to share examples of when they have felt anxious. Add visuals of different scenarios at school like a busy hallway or a classroom presentation.

Discuss both physical and emotional signs in detail. Use visuals or images if possible to represent examples like a fast heartbeat or sweating, and invite students to share if they’ve experienced any.

Present a variety of practical strategies, discussing why each helps. Mention that different strategies work for different individuals and encourage students to think about what might work best for them.

Invite students to share their own strategies and experiences with managing anxiety. Highlight the importance of community and learning from each other.

Summarize the key points from the lesson. Reinforce that managing anxiety is an ongoing journey and that seeking help when needed is important. Invite any final questions or comments from students.
