My Parents are Getting Divorced Social Story
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
Divorce can be an extremely confusing and emotional time for children. This social story resource aims to clearly explain what divorce means and what to expect in a reassuring way to help ease a child’s worries. The story uses direct, simple language and visual supports. The social story defines divorce in concrete terms as parents living in separate homes without being married anymore. It emphasizes that divorce is between the parents, not the child, and that both parents still love the child and will take care of them, even though they don’t live together. Common changes like moving between two homes and having different routines are covered. The story validates the difficult emotions the child might experience like sadness, anger, or confusion. It outlines how to verbalize feelings and who to talk to if needing support during this transition. The story has a reassuring tone throughout, communicating the consistency and care the child can rely on. Visual supports reinforce the narrative. The direct explanations and matter-of-fact delivery help take some of the uncertainty and abstractness out of divorce. Knowing what to expect reduces anxiety. This social story resource thereby facilitates comprehension and adaptation for children on the spectrum facing the complex life change of parental divorce. It teaches the social-emotional skills these children require to navigate this challenge. 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.

Stress Management Game played like Apples To Apples-Handouts
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Games
In this fun game, played similarly to the Apples To Apples game, students will read different stressful situations and choose a strategy they would use for that situation. There are 18 situation cards and 36 strategy cards. Each player draws 5 strategy cards (they do not show the other players which cards they have). The "judge" will draw a situation card and show the other players the card after reading the situation. For example, "You don't know the answers when taking a test." Then the other players will choose a strategy card they would use for that situation and place it face down to near the judge. The judge will read the different strategy cards and choose which one they would most likely choose. Important to convey to students: There is no "wrong" strategy, just a strategy that the judge would most likely use. Then for the next round, a different person is the judge and the game continues. the discarded strategy cards can get placed under the strategy pile. the person whose strategy was chosen, gets the situation card and also gets one point. This is a fun and engaging way to get students talking about different strategies they would use for stress management as well as different types of stressful situations they can manage if they need to. In this resource you will also be getting 2 mindful coloring handouts. This is a great way to finish the lesson after the game. I also like to begin this lesson by introducing a Brain Pop on stress. You can also choose a short video of your choice or a book about stress to prime the students' brains about what stress is, possible triggers of stress and how to cope with stress. Then the game can be played and can reinforce the topic.

A visual anger meter can be a great tool to help children with anger issues. It provides an easy way for children to express their feelings in a non-verbal way. This can be especially helpful for children who may not be able to communicate their feelings verbally. When children use their anger meter it can be used as a way to open discussion and help them understand the cause of their anger and how to manage it in a healthy way. Additionally, the anger meter can be used to teach children healthy coping strategies for managing their anger. Acknowledging and talking about anger can be a helpful way for children to deal with their anger. Talking about their feelings in a safe environment can help children feel better about their anger and can also help them to figure out how to deal with it in a healthy way. Additionally, teaching children healthy coping strategies for managing their anger can also be helpful. This anger meter can either be displayed on the wall for children to go to when they feel they need to or to be directed to by an adult or it can be laminated for them to have their own individual copy with them at their desk to pick up and use whenever it is needed.

SEL Boom Deck-What Can I Control and Not Control? Audio and Handout!
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, Activities
In this SEL Boom Deck, students will learn about things they can and cannot control. This is an important skill in self-regulation, relationship skills, and self-awareness. There is audio for each card so reading is not required. There are 46 Boom cards and 43 are task cards. The first 3 cards go over the concepts and the directions. Some of the in control examples are; a child is bored in class, a child make a choice that got them late for school, a child raised his hand to ask for help, a child studied for a test and did well on it, a child took something after someone dared them too, and many more. Some examples for the out of control concept are; a child's balloon was popped from a tree branch, there was a thunder storm, a family is moving, a child is walking in the rain, a child got a toy grabbed by another class member, a child is stuck in traffic and worried they will be late, a child did not get the lead role in a play, and more. After students participate in the Boom deck, they can write and draw their own examples of things they can and cannot control. There is a also a cute airplane that students can color and draw themselves being the pilot of their own plane (and mood, actions, feelings, etc.) This Boom deck can be something students do whole group (there enough cards for each student to do an example) or in centers, or you could assign this individually for homework. If there is an example of someone caught in a situation that causes them to feel upset regardless of whether they can or cannot control it, students are prompted by another card to help the person in the example feel better and do some things that they can control to help themselves. Please see Boom Deck's Terms of Use located on their website.
