The Green Zone

The Green Zone is where we do our best work. We have just the right amount of energy to stay focused on what we need to do. We might feel calm, happy, or content when in the Green Zone. Our muscles feel relaxed, and our breathing is steady.

The Yellow Zone

In the Yellow Zone, our energy levels are starting to increase. It might be because we feel nervous or worried, and our body is preparing to fight or flee. Our heart might start racing, we might feel out of breath, or we might feel sick in the stomach. Another reason we might have extra energy is because we are feeling silly. In the Yellow Zone, we start to feel a little bit less in control of your body.

Some characters that are often in the Yellow Zone are Fear, Branch, Flounder & Piglet.
