Penguin Heart Rate Worksheet- arousal, emotional regulation, and science

The My Penguin Heart Rate worksheet was developed for children to learn about how activities can impact heart rates. It is best used with a penguin pulse oximeter (available on Amazon or Walmart), but it can easily be used with any pulse oximeter to measure heart rate. It is a fun way to learn about the body, arousal, interoception, and emotion regulation.

I have used it with children as young as kindergarten and up to fourth grade in a one-on-one clinic setting. Some kids don't like to practice coping strategies, but this is a fun way to "test" the effects of deep breathing (2 minutes of deep breathing are embedded into the activity in one-minute increments). Each child came away from the activity with new excitement about their body!

Targeted Skills:

• Interoception & Body Awareness
• Arousal Regulation
• Emotional Regulation
• Science

What's included?

• 2 worksheets
• Activity: tracking heart rate after specific activities (e.g., at rest, after deep breathing, after jumping jacks, etc.)
• Questions to check understanding (e.g., what was your highest heart rate? what was your lowest? How does your body feel when your heart rate is high?)
