How to use it
- Choose one feeling to explore and give each level your own meaning.
- Add colors, pictures, body clues, or words that fit your experience.
- Point to a level that feels closest right now, or skip the check-in.
Reflection prompts
- What helps you notice when the feeling is changing?
- What support might fit at different levels?
- Who could you tell if the feeling becomes hard to manage?
Facilitator guidance
Build anchors collaboratively and treat the scale as personal. A higher number describes intensity, not goodness, badness, or behavior.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Use objects, stickers, or gestures instead of numbers.
- Use fewer levels or a horizontal version for easier scanning.
- Offer a nonverbal choice to pass.
