Worry Cards

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Help learners on the autism spectrum build awareness of their feelings of anxiety through a hands-on learning activity. Using a set of cards with examples of the different types of anxiety someone might face, learners discuss ideas of how they can help those characters, as well as whether they identify with those same feelings from time to time.
