Join the Banyan Buddies, a group of friendly monster and kid pals, as they travel the universe in their SEL Spaceship. Just as their rocket needs fuel, the Banyan Buddies need to make sure their own brain “engines” are in tip-top shape. Monitoring their emotions is very important so that they don’t want to feel too low or stuck in overdrive. With the help of their Moody Meter, the Banyan Buddies work with students to learn to identify their emotions and self-regulate. This six-part series invites student participants to join the Banyan Buddies and embark on an SEL journey together!
Episode 5: Check Before You Nervous Wreck Yourself
Space travel can be stressful, and that couldn’t be more true than in Episode 5, Check Before You Nervous Wreck Yourself. As the Banyan Buddies get caught in an intergalactic Asteroid Belt, they look to their new student friends for help. With the ship’s Moody Meter stuck in the yellow zone, the team will need to identify how to communicate yellow zone feelings. They will also explore tools to move between the different zones of the Moody Meter and safely get out of the Asteroid Belt and back on course for home.
