In my store, you’ll find a wide array of music resources that students will love to learn from. What You Get: This is a music video for your elementary students. The title of this song is “Responsibility.”This is a song and video that will teach students about character and taking responsibility. This video provides explanations and many examples to support student learning. You can implement this video at the introduction of teaching this character trait. The objective is for students to better understand how to be responsible and what it takes to have good character. This would be a song that I play multiple times for my students across the course of this unit . It is an MP4 file, so you can download it and have the option of embedding it into any slideshow you may be using for instruction. I hope you enjoy!

Basketball brackets can be used for anything-not just basketball! In this SEL product, students will get excited about participating in a Kelso's Choices bracket battle! Kelso's Choices are 9 ways to solve small problems. There are 5 different Kelso's Choices bracket templates and one blank one. One of the templates is nonverbal versus verbal choices. This is fully editable as it is a Google Slide Presentation. There are 24 different scenarios for students to contemplate and choose Kelso's Choices for. This can be played as a whole class or small group. To play, you give each group a certain scenario. Then they begin with discussing one of the 2 competitors among the 8 competitor choices. Students keep track of the votes and the winner moves on to the semi-final round (4 choices), then the winners of that, move on to the final round. You could even have all small groups talk about the same scenario and the whole class does a final vote for the winner. It is up to you how you wish to play the game . Some of the scenarios are; someone will not let you play, someone cut in front of you, someone teased you, someone called you a name, someone made fun of what you are wearing, someone accused you of cheating, etc. You can also edit the scenarios to make it work for your groups or class. The key to keeping this engaging and a higher-order activity is to have students say which choice they would use and why. Students can share a time they used that particular choice, when a choice works or does not work, or the best conflicts for each choice. Students can also share a time when a particular choice did not work and that is why they did not vote for it or share a time when a particular choice worked and that is why they voted for it. Have fun with this engaging resource!

Kelso's Choices – SEL Coloring Pages & Activities

In this SEL coloring page resource, you will receive 3 different Kelso's Choices extension activities. Plus one additional maze in the color green. There is a black and white frog maze, a color by Kelso's Choice frog to color in based on some of the Kelso's choices, and a draw a line from the picture of Kelso the frog doing the Kelso Choice on the right, written out. Kelso's Choices is a great conflict resolution framework that explains 9 different ways to solve small problems; walk away, talk it out, apologize, ignore, go to another game, wait and cool off, tell them to stop, share and take turns, and make a deal. These choices can teach students how to solve small problems by themselves, thus reducing the need for tattling. You can use these activities after teaching an SEL class on Kelso's choices, big and small problems, and which adult to tell if they are having a big problem. I teach students that if a situation is scary or unsafe, or someone is about to get hurt, they need to tell an adult and it becomes a big problem I also tell students that if they are having a small problem that simply will not go away using a Kelso's choice, they do need to go to an adult for guidance, such as a teacher, parent, babysitter, etc. Otherwise, if someone if cutting them in line, teasing them, taking a marker, not letting them play, not playing by the rules, or doing something to them that is frustrating or annoying, they can empower themselves to use a Kelso's Choice. I have several other Kelso's Choice SEL lessons that can be taught prior to these activities located in my SEL store at Teach Simple.
