SEL Stress Management Game-SEL Coloring Pages

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. For more SEL resources and products, please visit my SEL store at: https://teachsimple.com/contributor/jennifer-moyer-taylor I am a full-time school counselor who works with kindergarten through 8th graders. My products are "kid tested, kid approved"!

Therapy Dog Door Signs – Keep Your Classroom Calm & Organized 🐶🚪 A therapy dog in school is wonderful—but clear communication makes it even better! When a therapy dog is part of your school, it’s important that everyone—students, teachers, and visitors—knows how to interact appropriately. Sometimes the dog is available for visits, sometimes resting, and other times they need a quiet space to recharge. Instead of constantly reminding students when it’s okay to interact, these removable door signs do the work for you! With simple, easy-to-read messages, these signs help set clear expectations so that students respect the therapy dog’s needs while still enjoying all the benefits of having one at school. 🐾 Why These Signs Are Helpful for Any Therapy Dog Program ✔ Prevents classroom disruptions – No more students knocking or entering at the wrong time. ✔ Helps students learn respect – Teaches kids to recognize when the therapy dog needs rest. ✔ Perfect for schools, counseling offices, and classrooms – Works anywhere a school therapy dog is present. ✔ Easy to switch – The signs are removable, so you can update them as needed throughout the day. ✔ Kid-friendly design – Simple words and visuals make it easy for even young students to understand. 📌 What’s Included? 📜 A Set of Printable Therapy Dog Door Signs 🐶 "Therapy Dog Inside – Please Enter Quietly" 🐶 "Therapy Dog Resting – Do Not Disturb" 🐶 "Therapy Dog on a Break – Will Be Back Soon" ✔ Clear and student-friendly wording ✔ Easy-to-print format for flexible use 💡 How to Use These Signs in Your School 📍 Print & laminate for durability. These signs will last all year with lamination! 📍 Attach with Velcro or a removable adhesive. This makes it quick and easy to change the sign depending on the therapy dog’s schedule. 📍 Place them at the classroom or office door. Anywhere the therapy dog is working or resting, these signs help students understand what to do. 📍 Let students take responsibility. Assign a student helper to change the sign when needed—it’s a great way to involve them in learning about animal care and respect. Why Teachers Love These Signs ✔ "My students used to walk in loudly, but now they stop and check the sign first!" ✔ "It’s made a big difference—fewer interruptions, and our therapy dog is much calmer." ✔ "I laminated them, and now they’re a daily part of our routine. So helpful!" 🐶 A Simple Solution for a Well-Organized Therapy Dog Program Bringing a therapy dog into a school setting is such a rewarding experience, but a little structure makes it even smoother. These removable therapy dog door signs help set clear expectations so that both students and the therapy dog feel safe and comfortable. 📥 Print them today and make your school’s therapy dog experience even better! 🐾✨ 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨

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.

There are 8 different sets of cards to practice math skills across several grades. How to Use: I like using these matching games as a warm-up or as a reward at the end of class. Simply shuffle one of the sets and give each student one card. Give the students a moment to determine their card’s value. Then all students stand up and move SILENTLY around the room. ***(I love having this guaranteed moment of quiet)*** Students show their cards to each other and look for their match/card with the same value (ex. 9+9 and 15+3). Matches move to the side of the room until everyone is paired up. Then you can re-deal and play again! Card Sets Included: Each set has 16 pairs- enough for a class with up to 32 students!

Anxiety Social Story For Identifying Triggers & Coping Skills
Resources for Teachers, Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Life Skills, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets & Printables, Activities

This anxiety social story will help students learn all about identifying triggers, specifically with anxiety, and introduces anxiety specific coping skills that they can use to self-regulate! Anxiety in our students is on the rise, and not just with students on the Autism Spectrum, but any of our students! And what I have found is that our students struggle to understand what makes them anxious or worried. This social story helps to alleviate that problem as it introduces common anxiety triggers that help students pinpoint exactly which situations cause them to feel stressed, scared, or even worried. After identifying triggers of anxiety, the story then discusses practical ways to calm themselves down, to help promote emotional regulation. And the best part is, the social story is just the tip of the iceberg! It includes coping skill cards and a choice board with multiple calming strategies that your students can use in their everyday lives! So not only are you introducing the concepts in the social story, but you are able to reinforce the concepts in the classroom as well! Needing a digital option? I’ve got you covered! This also includes a digital version of the story with the same concepts so that way you can use it for class lessons, in anxiety small groups, or even on a tablet!
