Printable CBT test-anxiety activity pack for tweens 9-12: 8 pages, 4 do-it-now activities, instant download — print at home in minutes. For the kid who knows it cold at home, then goes blank the second the test is in front of them: Pip’s Test-Day Plan hands your child a real plan to carry into the room, not one more worksheet that just *says* “stay calm.”
For parents, teachers, and school counselors — at the kitchen table the night before, in a one-to-one check-in, or as a back-to-school calm-down routine.
It runs a genuine CBT engine on test anxiety across four self-contained activities: – The Control Sort — sort exam worries into “in my control” vs “not mine to carry,” so effort goes where it can actually help. – The Catch & Swap Grid — catch the three test-day thought traps (blanking, “one wrong means I fail,” “everyone else is fine”) and swap in a balanced thought your tween can believe. – The Calm-Body Kit — slow paced breathing + a 5-4-3-2-1 grounding step to settle a racing heart in the moment. – My Test-Day Game Plan — a fold-up plan card (Before / During / If I Blank) your tween fills in, then cuts out and folds in half to a pocket size (about 9 × 12 cm) to carry into the test.
Includes worked examples + a coach note (together on the final page) — model answers for every activity plus a note that shows grown-ups how to coach effort and coping, not the score. A grown-ups quick-start sets it up in about 5 minutes.
What you get: an 8-page printable PDF in A4 + US Letter, 4 CBT activities, a worked-example answer key, a parent coach note, and unlimited print-at-home use. Instant digital download — no physical item is shipped.
Common questions What is this? A printable CBT activity pack that gives tweens (9-12) a concrete, portable plan for test and exam anxiety — sorting worries, swapping catastrophic thoughts, and a calm-body routine to use during the test itself.
What age is it for? Written for ages 9-12, with tween-friendly wording and examples. A confident younger reader (8) can do it alongside a grown-up.
What’s included? 8 pages: 4 hands-on activities, a worked-example answer key + coach note (together on the final page), a grown-ups quick-start, and how-to-print + license pages. A4 and US Letter — print as many times as you like for your family or classroom.
How do I use it? Print it, then run the activities together over about 15-20 minutes — ideally a few days before the test — and let your child cut out and carry the fold-up plan card into the exam.
Is this therapy? No. It is an evidence-based CBT skill-building tool for everyday exam worry — a coping resource for parents and educators, not clinical care.
