SEL Stress Management Game-SEL Coloring Pages
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Life Skills, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Coloring Pages
In this resource, you will get an engaging game like Apples To Apples. There are 36 strategy cards and 18 situation cards. This is an SEL game. Each person takes a turn with being the judge like Apples to Apples. It is important to make enough sets for the number of groups who will be playing. for example, I recommend at least 3-5 people playing together for each group. So if there are 20 students, then create at least 5 different sets of the cards, Then follow the directions for the game below: First, everyone gets 5 strategy cards. There is no revealing the cards to other players. Then one person is chosen to be the " judge " for the first round. I usually pick the oldest person to make it fair. The judge reveals the card to all and even can read the card out loud. The the other players choose one of their strategy cards to handle that particular situation. Then the judge decides which one they would use. Important; there is not right or wrong here, just what one person would do in that situation. Next the next player goes (usually counter clockwise) to who will be the judge. The person will reveal the situation and the other players will play their strategy card. Play as long as time allows. Next, you can print off the mindfulness coloring sheets for students to color and reinforce the idea or coloring mindfully when they are upset, frustrate, need some time alone, etc. There is a way to change the word and position of the word in the mindfulness coloring sheet. These are SEL coloring pages.

Changing Negative Self-Talk Into Positive Self-Talk SEL Presentation
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Elementary, Middle School, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Coloring Pages, Worksheets
In this Google Slide SEL presentation, students will learn how to change their negative thoughts into positive ones. There is a quote at the beginning of the slide show that says "Watch what you tell yourself, you're likely to believe it." by Russ Kyle. The students can share what they think this quote means to them. Then there is an educational slide on the value of changing their negative thoughts into positive ones. Then the students will have 12 slides to practice changing negative thoughts into realistic and positive ones. They can do this as a turn and talk with a partner, whole group instruction, or in their table groups. You can decide the best approach for your students. After they practice 12 different thoughts, the students will participate in an elimination game using a playing deck of cards. You will randomly pull a red or black card and students need to declare which one they think you will pull before you pull it. There are directions on the slide notes. The goal is for them to say out loud to the person next to them about which one they guess is going to get pulled for their own accountability. Ask students to pay attention to their own self-talk during this game. This game is based on luck only. You can play the game as many times as you want as time allows. Lastly, the students will get to color a mindfulness coloring sheet of a brain with their own name on it. You can make as many handouts as you have students in your class. Simply double click on the name and change it to the names of students in your class and press enter. Print off as many copies as you need.

In this product, you will get a Google Slides lesson with SEL coloring pages and Writing prompts discussing what causes drama among friends, what makes things worse (heats it & stirs it up) and what makes things better (what cools it down). There are 10 situations to discuss as a class. You can have students use fingers (1-5) or move to stations around the room to choose what they would do in different situations. Finally, there is a reflection and a coloring activity to reinforce the importance of being drama-free. This lesson will address friendship skills, relationship skills as well as social awareness. You can use this for whole-classroom guidance lessons, small groups, and even one on one counseling. There are descriptions of what heats up (fuels) drama among friends as well as what de-escalates friendship problems. There is a 19-slide presentation using Google Slides. In the PDF, you just need to click on the image of the main cover image. This is the image of a collection of the slide presentation, the reflection sheet, as well as the mindfulness coloring activity sheet. There are slide notes on every page. Please read each slide note for each slide. This will help you have a seamless lesson with very little prep and no need to prepare for your SEL lesson. The heat-up reasons are; involving other people as messengers, bringing up past situations, gossiping, using mean words, and blaming others. The cooldown strategies are; owning your stuff (taking responsibility for your own actions), sharing your own feelings, sticking to the current situation, listening to the other person's perspective, and calming down before you react. This is a great lesson to use if you are finding students have difficulty solving their own problems among their friendship groups, small groups for girls (in particular), or hosting lunch bunch groups for girls. This is not gender specific so you can use it for both genders if needed.

My Bucket of Worries Worksheet
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
Anxiety and worry can weigh heavily on children’s minds, but actually identifying specific concerns is the critical first step toward relief. This printable “My Bucket of Worries” worksheet gives students a dedicated space to mindfully process fears in their life, big and small. The act of dumping worries out to examine them objectively alleviates overwhelming feelings while building healthy coping strategies. This creatively designed write-and-respond worksheet guides stressed children to get worries out of their head by listing them concretely. First they illustrate examples of things causing anxiety, like fights with friends, math tests , remembering homework, messy rooms, etc. This shifts worrying from an emotion to externalized concepts now on paper. Children then write the things that make them feel better and the calming strategies that work for them. The visual on the sheet is that of a bucket being filled with all their worries and then a tap that represents calming strategies shows the worries empty out of the bucket. Guiding students to pinpoint, process and problem-solve worries before overwhelming emotions set in is essential. This simple yet clever bucket worksheet achieves that, lightening children’s load.

Just Kidding by Trudy Ludwig SEL Companion Lesson
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Grade 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
In this resource, students will read a book (or listen to the book) titled Just Kidding by Trudy Ludwig, Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. Then they will be able to do 5 different engaging activities. Teachers can plan this for 5 different centers or partner work with packets or even homework. It is up to the teacher or school counselor how they would like to conduct this resource. The key concepts are knowing the difference between hurtful and friendly teasing. This is a very important concept to teach early on as students try out different types of humor. Unintentionally or not, student may hurt other students' feelings based on their words, tone, and topic of teasing. It is also important to teach about "off limit" topics such as appearance, grades, athleticism, family members, etc. In this resource there are five different extension activities. They are; a word search with a secret message, a What Would You Do? questionnaire, a sign language secret message, a Find 10 Differences related to sports (I have added this because many teasing scenarios-friendly or hurtful-are often around sports activities and athleticism, a sorting activity about friendly or hurtful teasing, This activity can be used as a 5 centers activity whereas groups rotate from one center to another every 5 minutes (or as your time allows) or you can staple the activities (handouts) together to have partners complete and work together or you could send as homework after reading the story in class. Regardless, the extension activities will enhance the students' perspective of this very important concept of knowing the difference between hurtful and friendly teasing.

Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
Managing anger appropriately is a vital skill for children to develop. This interactive cut and stick activity creatively builds positive behavior choices using engaging picture sorting. The worksheet features 10 illustrated scenarios showing different reactions when feeling angry, like hitting a peer, screaming, talking to a trusted adult, hurting others, deep breathing, throwing objects, listening to music etc. Students must thoughtfully analyze each picture, discussing if the behaviors shown are right or wrong ways to deal with anger. Children then cut out each scenario and physically sort them under the columns ”I should" or "I should not" according to their own reasoning. The active sorting process cements understanding on a deeper level than just circling pictures. It expands children’s toolbox of appropriate emotional regulation tactics. Finally, students glue their sorted cards permanently under the correct column, creating a handy visual reference guide demonstrating constructive vs destructive anger reactions. The divided spectrum reminds them that small daily choices shape their own and classmates’ feelings. Interactive, hands-on and creatively reinforcing, this cut and stick anger management worksheet builds essential social-emotional intelligence. It steers kids positively through intense emotions sure to arise! In essence, the "Anger Choices" worksheet is not just a task; it is a tool for developing essential life skills.
