Anxiety and Calming Strategies Bingo

Anxiety and Calming Strategies Bingo
, Not Grade Specific,

The bingo pages frame coping practice as noticing and recording when a strategy is used. Prefilled boards include simple calming options involving breathing, senses, positive self-talk, drawing, hydration, comfort objects, and fidgets, while blank boards let learners add preferred strategies. Both colour and colour spelling versions are provided. The activity can support a broader wellbeing plan, but it is not a substitute for individualized mental-health support.

Eating Too Fast – Social Story for Kids

Eating Too Fast – Social Story for Kids
, Not Grade Specific,

Written in the first person as "Taking My Time to Eat," this social story explains in simple, one-sentence-per-page language why eating quickly can be uncomfortable — an upset stomach, a burning chest feeling, choking, or eating past fullness — before showing the benefit of eating more slowly (tasting food better, feeling more comfortable). It then offers four concrete strategies: taking small bites, putting the fork down between bites, drinking water between mouthfuls, and counting chews. The story closes by reinforcing how slowing down helps the child feel good, stay healthy, and please the people around them.

Feeling Left Out: Social Stories About Emotions and Social Skills

Feeling Left Out: Social Stories About Emotions and Social Skills
, Not Grade Specific,

The table of contents verifies several delivery choices for the same social-story topic. Teachers can present the digital version to a group, use the larger printed story, assemble a compact half-size copy, or work with individual story cards. The supplied pages do not reveal the story wording or follow-up prompts, so this draft stays at the format and topic level. The material should support guided discussion rather than substitute for individualized support.

The printable itself functions as a launch page rather than containing the full activity. Its image and link direct users to an externally hosted bracket experience, but individual matchups, prompts, rounds, and response options are outside the supplied evidence. The broad icebreaker purpose is verified by the title. Teachers must test access, review content, and prepare a non-digital fallback before classroom use.
