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. You’d be amazed at how much more open and engaged they become! What Other Teachers Have Said ✔ “I used this before our first therapy dog visit, and it made a huge difference in how students behaved around the dog.” ✔ “It’s simple but powerful. The class discussions that came from this were amazing.” ✔ “Perfect for social-emotional learning, even without a therapy dog!” Why This Activity Sticks with Students At the end of the day, this isn’t just another worksheet. It’s a way to help students slow down, think about their actions, and reflect on what really matters—whether that’s how they interact with a therapy dog, a classmate, or the world around them. 📥 Give it a try—you might be surprised by what your students come up with. 🐶✨ 📍 Warmly, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

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?

This 43-page digital PDF contains a facilitator's guide, theory, student workbook, and teacher resources, all rolled into one. Developed with the principles of neuroscience, psychology, and the Seasonal Cyclicality Model (SCM), this social and emotional learning program for kids takes students on a series of fun, gamified, and micro-level missions aligned with Autumn (self-awareness), Winter (social observation), Spring (social skills), and Summer (responsible decision-making). This social and emotional learning program for kids, tweens, and pre-teens is perfect for parents, teachers, and counselors who want to develop the cognitive empathy, emotional intelligence, and growth mindset of middle school students. A must-have for middle school emotional intelligence development, bullying prevention, and classroom community building. Instant download. Keywords: SEL curriculum for 4th to 7th grade, empathy workbook for middle school, social and emotional learning activities, tween emotional intelligence development, neuroscience-based SEL program. Why Parents/Schools Love It: Neuroscience-Based: Fuses the power of brain science with the ease of using Micro-Missions to develop empathy as a "muscle" that grows with repetition, creating a lifelong tool for children without overwhelming them. Seasonal Format: Utilizes the power of seasonal themes and activities to eliminate social anxiety issues with a "game" approach to SEL that integrates easily into the school year or home schedule. Comprehensive Resources Included: Provides facilitator guides, student worksheets, case studies, images, and teacher keys in one convenient PDF format for quick and effective implementation with proven results such as improved conflict resolution and self-regulation. Universal and Adaptable: Includes protocols for working with children who have experienced trauma, those with neurodiverse needs, and applications for real-world issues such as bullying, making it effective for a wide range of classrooms and promoting a sense of community. Proven Results through Real-Life Case Studies: Includes real-life examples of how children move from isolation to connection, giving parents and educators the power to see the impact on children's social skills and decisions. Target Classes/Students : After a thorough analysis of the entire content presented in the PDF, from the introduction to the chapters, case studies, worksheets, and teacher resources, the content is clearly targeted at students from grade 4 through grade 7 (approximately 9-13 years old). This is consistent with the "middle years" concept presented throughout the content, which covers neurological developments such as prefrontal cortex restructuring, synaptic pruning, and the progression from Erik Erikson's Industry vs. Inferiority stage to the Identity vs. Role Confusion stage. For example, grade 4 community projects, grade 5 integrations into the classroom, grade 6 self-awareness interventions, and grade 7 conflict resolutions. The content is applicable for homeschoolers, classrooms in public/private schools, after-school programs, and counseling sessions for the target age group, with modifications for neurodiverse students with ASD or NVLD.

Each background is designed in A4 format and comes in three file types (PNG, JPG, TIFF), so you can use them easily in PowerPoint, Canva, Word, or on your digital whiteboard.

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.

Mariah's Mystery- A Fun SEL Cooperative Game For Kids
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Life Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Games
In this highly fun and engaging game, students will work together to decide the answers to a mystery game. They will listen to clues and read about a situation that needs to be solved. they will need to work together to solve this mystery. They will have one person who will be using a pencil to eliminate the answers that are not correct based on the different clues. There are a number of clues that groups of students will get (4 - 5 students is best) and each student will read each clue one at a time and the person who has the pencil and possible answers will help to cross out the eliminated answers based on the clues. Each student though will play a part in figuring out what clue is going to be a helpful clue to rule out an answer to either what is missing, who took it or where the item is. This is a great activity for groups to practice problem solving and cooperation, especially if you have some students who are not doing very well as cooperating as a group or some students who are not listening to other students share their perspective. Each student in this activity holds an important clue to the mystery. The directions are in the resource and this is highly engaging for the grades of third, fourth, fifth and sixth. However, for advanced grades, 2nd and even 7th grades would also benefit and find enjoyment in this activity. You know you students best!

Soccer Game – Find the Match! Spot It! Style with Hand-Drawn Cliparts

Soccer Game – Find the Match! Spot It! Style with Hand-Drawn Cliparts Similar to Dobble / Spot it! A quick-thinking visual game for elementary learners – perfect for brain breaks, warm-ups, or station work ⚽🧠 This printable matching game is built around a simple idea: every two cards share exactly one image – and the goal is to find it faster than your opponent! Designed in a soccer theme and illustrated with my own hand-drawn clipart, this version adds a playful and sporty twist to the classic Dobble/Spot It! concept. You’ll receive two full sets of 31 cards each – in both round and square formats. Each card includes six different soccer-related illustrations (balls, shoes, trophies, whistles, and more). Whether you're working on visual attention, comparison, or just want to offer something fun and interactive, this game is a low-prep favorite. What’s included: 62 cards in total (2x 31-card sets) 2 formats: round and square (easy to cut) All images are original soccer-themed clipart Clear instructions included PDF format for printing and laminating How I’ve used it in the classroom: This type of game has worked really well for me during transition times or as part of a classroom “focus station.” It’s quick to explain, easy to set up, and even young learners who don’t read yet can join in. The competitive element keeps it exciting, but the visual search also supports focus and attention. You can play in small groups, pairs, or even adapt the cards for solo use. The laminated version holds up well over time, and I often keep a copy in our class game drawer. A simple, sporty way to bring energy and focus into your classroom – and a nice break from worksheets. Print, cut, and play – no prep needed, and lots of learning packed into a simple activity. Warm regards, Lernfitness Did You Know?

Some of the strategies mentioned in this deck are; belly breathing, blowing bubbles, talking to a friend, asking for help from an adult, taking a break, walking and counting, drinking a cool glass of water, reading, using a thinking strategy and more. some of the scenarios that cause a child to be angry are; having to go to bed, fun plans get canceled, getting teased, not being able to pick out the restaurant for dinner, someone took something and is not giving it back, someone lost a special toy, and other child relatable scenarios.
