Stop Think Choose- A Self-Control SEL Game
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Grade 2, Games, Activities, Posters, Classroom Decor
In this resource, you will get a fun SEL game for students. This STOP THINK CHOOSE game is to help students practice slowing down when they are upset and thinking through their feelings and choices. There is a stop sign handout that all students receive and can take home. This can also be used as an SEL poster in the classroom to reference this strategy of Stopping (calming down and stopping what you are doing), Thinking (How do I and other feel right now?) and Choosing a safe and respectful choice. When students play the game, they will land on ice cream truck, car and stop spaces. The ice cream truck is for fun. The students will read the joke or "would you rather" question to the group and they will guess the answer or share their preferred choice of a "would you rather" question. The car spaces are for scenarios where students can walk it through the stop, think, and choose strategy. The stop sign spaces for for students to act out a motion, saying, or movement around the room activity and the person on their right will tell them to stop. Students will practice stopping right away. This is great practice for when teachers ask students to stop and they need to learn to stop right away in the moment. Lastly there is an extension handout for students to fill out that assesses if they understand the strategy. There are 24 car scenario cards and 24 ice cream truck cards for fun. There is an action needed for each space of the game. The game board is 8.5 by 11 inches but if you would like to enlarge the game board, this is possible using a copy machine and zooming to a larger size if needed. You just need game pieces and dice or an 8 sided die.

Therapy Dog - Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭

Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭 There’s something special about the presence of a therapy dog in the classroom. Even the most restless students seem to relax. Some kids who rarely speak up suddenly open up. And for many, it’s the first time they’ve had a chance to experience the unconditional support that a dog offers. But what if we took that experience and turned it into a learning moment? That’s exactly what this reflection activity does. It helps students think about what kindness means, why responsibility matters, and how their actions affect others—whether those others have two legs or four. Why This Activity Feels Different ✔ It gets students thinking, not just answering. It’s not about memorizing facts. It’s about pausing for a moment and reflecting on simple but meaningful questions. ✔ It connects emotions with actions. Why do therapy dogs have rules? Why does kindness matter? These questions lead to unexpectedly deep discussions. ✔ It’s easy for any grade level. Younger kids can draw their answers, while older students might write or discuss. No one feels left out. ✔ It works with or without a therapy dog. Even if your school doesn’t have one, this still sparks conversations about empathy and responsibility. ✔ No prep required. Just print it out, hand it to students, and let them think. How I Use It in My Classroom 📌 First, we talk. I ask, “How do animals teach us about kindness?” or “What do therapy dogs need from us?” The answers are never what I expect—and that’s the best part. 📌 Then, students reflect. They complete a few simple but thoughtful prompts about their own behavior, their emotions, and what they’ve learned. 📌 Next, we share (if they want to). I never make sharing mandatory. But I’m always surprised by how many students want to. 📌 Finally, we put up the poster. It’s a small reminder that kindness and responsibility go beyond the classroom. 🐶 One more idea: If you have a therapy dog visit your class, have students read their reflections to the dog. You’d be amazed at how much more open and engaged they become! What Other Teachers Have Said ✔ “I used this before our first therapy dog visit, and it made a huge difference in how students behaved around the dog.” ✔ “It’s simple but powerful. The class discussions that came from this were amazing.” ✔ “Perfect for social-emotional learning, even without a therapy dog!” Why This Activity Sticks with Students At the end of the day, this isn’t just another worksheet. It’s a way to help students slow down, think about their actions, and reflect on what really matters—whether that’s how they interact with a therapy dog, a classmate, or the world around them. 📥 Give it a try—you might be surprised by what your students come up with. 🐶✨ 📍 Warmly, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨

Fonts are provided in print, tracing, and decorative styles – so you can adapt the activity to your students' level and needs.

Easy prep, lots of uses: Print, cut, and let students decorate their door hangers with drawings or personal messages. You can hang them on lockers, desks, or classroom walls. Some teachers also use them for class community projects or parent nights. This activity encourages self-reflection in a gentle and creative way – and reminds students that recognizing their own strengths is part of learning too. This is more than just a decoration – it’s a tool for early math learning wrapped in a bit of adventure. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

Anger Management Social Story: Interoception & Coping Strategies
Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Resources, Life Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Early Learning, Elementary, Worksheets & Printables, Read Alouds, Activities
Many elementary students and students on the Autism Spectrum struggle with identifying how they feel and emotional regulation. Social stories can be a great tool to help bridge that gap and reduce behaviors! This social story focuses on how to know when your students feel angry by practicing interoception and showing examples of what may happen to them when they are feeling angry. The social story then walks them through different coping strategies using visuals so that way students can practice calming themselves down from their anger.

Uncover the best social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum for grades 3-6 in "Emotional Intelligence Building Blocks - Social Emotional Learning" by Syed Hammad Rizvi, especially designed for elementary-school-going children. With a total of 432 pages of in-depth information, this book maximizes 8- to 12-year-olds' ability to handle their internal world of emotions while developing high-quality social skills, such as mastering personal management skills and responsible decision-making. Full of exciting topics in each installments like recognizing happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and many more, this social emotional learning middle school workbook delves deep into self-awareness, self-management tools like journaling, breathing exercises, goal setting, social awareness with a focus on empathy, body language, and cultural differences. Designed to be highly beneficial for homeschoolers, classroom teaching, or family usage, this social-emotional learning middle school curriculum not only provides exercises to handle conflicts, make friends, and enhance positive thinking but is specifically designed to help in overcoming emotional difficulties by teaching kids to be emotionally intelligent individuals throughout their lives. It is a highly recommended teaching tool for all parents, tutors, and teachers looking for scientifically valid emotional intelligence exercises to be performed by kids in their classroom. Why Parents/Schools Love It: In-Depth SEL Resource: Provides students with a clear continuum of skills from recognizing emotions to applying concepts in a real-life setting. Helps students learn to be resilient, empathetic, and effective conflict resolvers. Practical and Engaging Tools: This category includes solutions such as journaling, breathing exercises, and goal-setting tasks, which require minimal effort to perform in the comfort of one's home or an educational setting in order to promote instant emotional development. Encourages Positive Relations: Deals with skills like listening, boundary marking, and celebrating diversity. Has the effect of reducing misbehavior and increasing positive associations with family, friends, and the broader community. Aligned with Educational Standards: Based on the principles of Emotional Intelligence, the resource is useful for both homeschooling and classroom education as it impacts academic success, health, and bullying intervention. Empowering for Lifelong Skills: It promotes self-discovery and optimistic outlooks, arming children with skills to conquer life's obstacles, resulting in happier and more confident people as manifested in parent and teacher feedbacks. Target Classes/Students : Based on the complete analysis of the content, structure, language, and examples in the book, it is ideally targeted at students in grades 3 to 6 (usually between 8-12 years old). The content uses vocabulary suitable for this age group, scenarios that are easy for students of this age to relate to, such as school challenges and playground and family dynamics, and progresses gradually from simple emotion identification to complex issues such as ethical dilemmas and community involvement. The introductory tone assumes basic reading skills without burdening the younger reader, while the substance in the later chapters on self-awareness and social dynamics fits well with the upper elementary levels. It could extend to advanced grade 2 students or remedial grade 7, but the core focus is perfectly in tune with middle childhood development stages emphasized in the book.

Fear of insects Social Story
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
For children who experience intense fear or phobias related to insects, this social story resource provides supporting explanations and coping strategies. Specifically tailored for children on the autism spectrum who may struggle reading social cues, the story aims to logically address the reasons behind insect fears and equip children with skills to manage them. Using a reassuring tone, the social story explains how most insects pose no real danger to humans, as many are so tiny compared to a person’s size. While some insects like bees can sting, the story gives facts about how insect stings rarely cause serious harm. It also highlights all the useful things insects do, like pollinating plants. The second half of the story outlines constructive ways children can deal with insect fears when encountered. This includes techniques like staying calm, thinking logical thoughts about how small insects are, and reminding themselves that insects are useful to their earth. By addressing both the emotional and reality-based sides of insect fears, this social story uses clear language and visuals to teach autistic children coping methods. It validates their feelings while also gently challenging catastrophic thinking. The final outcome is a set of strategies children can employ themselves when afraid, giving them skills, reassurance, and power to manage phobias. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.

Explore the quantum revolution with The Quantum Leap: Unlocking the Mysteries of Quantum Computing for Teens, written by Syed Hammad Rizvi – a comprehensive resource for upfront and center students interested in innovative and advanced applications in computer science and related physics and technological domains. A thorough and correct resource on understanding complex ideas such as a bit compared to a qubit, quantum superpositions and entanglements, quantum gate and quantum circuit designs, Shor's algorithm and Grover's algorithm, and further applications in drug development simulation, economic modeling simulation, climate simulation modeling, and quantum cryptography beyond post-quantum cryptography. This 351-page book serves a thorough introduction to computer and physics students who are interested in understanding advanced computer applications and related physics. The Quantum Leap serves a detailed platform for students to learn about quantum paralleling, quantum correction, and quantum internet connectivity. Perfectly effective and aptly SEO-ed for educators on quantum mechanics resources and applications. A necessary read for students and professionals interested in quantum physics and computer applications. Why Parents/Schools Love It: Sparks STEM Passion: Makes the concept of quantum computing easy to understand for teens by comparing it to things they know and love, sparking their interest in the technological applications of the future such as artificial intelligence and cryptography. Teaches Future-Proof Skills: The course deals with applications, ethics, and future career options, providing students with knowledge required for in-demand jobs in quantum technology. Accessible and Engaging: Step-by-step analyses and context knowledge provided help make difficult subjects more accessible, overcoming intimidation factors and encouraging critical thinking. Comprehensive Curriculum Fit: It is compatible with the computer science and physics curriculum of high schools and is very suitable for being incorporated in the classroom or homeschooling settings. Encourages Ethical Awareness: It deals with the effects, limitations, and initiatives taken around the world, thus instilling ethical innovation in the minds. Target Student Classes: Having considered the entire contents and structure of this book and its intended audience from various perspectives such as its front cover and introduction chapters, it is intended for high school students from Grades 10 to 12 and aged 15 to 18 years. It commences from a level of basic discussion on classical and quantum fundamentals such as superpositions and entanglement concepts and then proceeds to more complex aspects of quantum studies such as algorithms and error correction strategies based on assumed foundational knowledge and interests but without rigorous prerequisite knowledge. Hence it is intended for high school seniors enrolled in introductory computer science studies at college or more in-depth math and physics studies at school levels above Grades 9; it may also serve Grade 9 students who take more challenging subjects at school and college-level new students at introductory stages as add-on reading contents, while its mainstream audience would be Grades 10 to 12 students in line with its teen-level comparison aids and refraining from more mature themes of mathematics chapters.
