Calm Command at Children’s Museum of Indianapolis

Health: Emotions & Self-Regulation Adventure Pack

Inside the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, interactive exhibits are flashing emotional overload alerts. Sound levels are rising. Frustration meters are spiking. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the emotional regulation system. If explorers cannot restore calm and balance, the entire museum experience could become overwhelming.

In Calm Command at Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, students ride the Feelings Field Van into a thoughtful health mission. To restore harmony, explorers must identify emotions, recognize triggers, and practice calm-down strategies like controlled breathing. By learning to make positive choices, show respect, build empathy, resolve conflicts, and reflect on their reactions, students bring balance back to the museum’s emotional network.

This adventure blends social-emotional learning with practical self-regulation strategies that empower students in everyday life.
