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.

Fill the Tank Activity
, Grade 6, 7, 8, Activities
This is a Fill the Tank Activity. The goal of this game for students is to have their team’s tank full at the end of class. To fill the tank, students must work a section of problems correctly. After they finish a section, teams will check in with the teacher. If it’s correct, they will roll a dice to see which rule they get. Then follow directions for that rule (students will roll again if the rule involves a dice roll). If the team’s problems are incorrect, they will need to find and fix their mistakes before they check in again. Teams must Beware! Other teams could drain their tank. Only tanks that are full at the end of class win! Directions to Teacher Before Game: On “Fill the Tank” slide: Edit the box in top center to show the problems you want students to complete. The vertical gray bars in the textbox group problems into sections. Edit textboxes next to each rule to suit your preferences (or use the default rules). On “Game Rules” slide, edit rules to suit your preferences (or use the default rules). Show this to students before starting the game so they know how to play. To Run the Game: Put PowerPoint in presentation mode. After a team finishes a section correctly, have them roll a dice to see which rule they get. Then follow the directions for that rule (if the rule involves a dice roll, have them roll again). To make a rule show up, click on the Rule textbox. Click on it again to make the rule disappear. Sometimes it’s advantageous for the teacher to select which Rule teams play by for a given amount of time (5-10 minutes). To speed the game up, use Rules 6. To catch last place teams up, use Rule 3. To drain tanks, use Rules 2, 4, or 5. To reach a full tank, the water level must rise 16 times. To add water to a team’s tank, click on the inside of the tank, starting at the bottom and working your way up. To drain the tank, click at the highest water level and work your way down. Essentially, clicking once adds water; clicking on the same spot again drains water. Beware: once you exit presentation mode, all PowerPoint animations will be reset.
