With the help of this worksheet, your child will create their own model of the human brain that highlights the parts of their brain that can promote more calm and peace. Young learners will create a play dough brain that includes the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and the hippocampus (in three different colors). This social emotional learning activity can help second and third graders build skills around self-awareness and mindfulness while also getting a brief introduction to neuroscience.
