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.

Critical Thinking: Social Media Comments- Create a Class Constitution for Online Behaviour
Special Resources, Social Studies, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), History, Psychology, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Activities, Projects
Critical Thinking: Social Media Comments – Create a Class Constitution for Online Behaviour This dynamic teaching resource is designed to address the timely issue of online etiquette and cyberbullying. It is suited for students in the middle grades (6-10), using social media platforms as a focused topic. How to Use: Start by introducing the goal: Working together, we will design a class constitution about appropriate behavior when using Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok, Facebook, etc. Talk about using positive language when creating rules (DO instead of DON'T). Decide if you will allow students to find their own examples on approved social media sites, or look for examples yourself before giving this lesson. Go through the 4 scenarios: When someone looks different, When someone goes through a tragedy, When someone disagrees with you, When you disagree with what someone else does. For each scenario, students will look for examples of positive and negative comments, and you can use the prompt questions to get students thinking about how people act online in these situations. Finally, collectively determine a class rule for each situation. For example, When someone looks different... we will only comment if we have something kind to say! After the lesson, students can be assigned a reflective journal task so they can cohesively bring their ideas and thoughts from this lesson together. This lesson goes beyond imparting knowledge pertinent to today's digital landscape—it includes practical exercises that can aid in empathy building too! What's Included: 10 Pages in PowerPoint- so you can edit as you need to! Title Page How to Write Positive Rules Instructions for This Activity When Someone Looks Different Than You... When Someone Goes Through a Tragedy... When Someone Disagrees with You... When a Celebrity Does Something You Disagree With... Rules In Real Life Class Constitution for Social Media Reflection Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed to be accessible to students in the middle grades (6-10). At the younger end of this range, you may provide social media examples yourself, and with older students, they may be able to look up examples on their own.

In this product, you will receive 10 unique Unwind Your Mind SEL activity mats. These are wonderful for SEL follow-up activities, morning work, brain breaks, school counseling handouts, etc. There are 4 seasonal activity mats; fall, winter, spring, and summer. There are 2 partner-focused mats so students can connect, build friendships, and create a safe classroom community. There are 4 mats for any day of the year! Students from upper elementary through middle school will enjoy these mats. (Even adults and high schoolers would like to do some of these!) On the mats, there is mindfulness coloring/zentangle coloring, mazes, word search, reflections, SEL prompts, and more. For example on one of the mats, there is a mindfulness coloring of an anchor with the prompt to encourage students to think about what grounds them as they color. There is also a squiggle and students are encouraged to create their own unique design from it. There is also a heart maze, a triangle breath image, and an image of a turtle to encourage students to think of what brings them strength. On another mat, there is a line of different emojis and they are asked to circle how they feel in that moment. There is also a mindfulness coloring of a hot air balloon and the prompt is for them to imagine all of their worries are in the basket and as they color, they are asked to think of their worries floating away. On that same mat, there is a rainbow breath exercise and an image of a brick wall with the prompt for students to write in the bricks what gives them a solid foundation; their values, strengths, and purposes in life. Each mat is unique but offers opportunities for students to take a moment to relax, get their minds off their daily stress, and have fun. It is best to print these on legal-size paper so images and text are a good size with plenty of room for students to write and draw.

Make sure you are teaching SEL on a daily basis with these SEL Daily Openers and Weekly Lessons! Each of these resources are themed around a common topic with a specific objective for each week. Spend the first 10 minutes of each with a no-prep ready to go activity! Topic: Self-Management Objective: I can exhibit self-motivation and self-discipline. Simply display the teacher Google Slides and pass out the student handbook and engage your students in an SEL topic through bellringers (CASEL aligned) while you can focus on their individual emotional needs. Additionally, you get one ready-to-use SEL lesson , all aligned to the topic and objective for the week. Finally, an easy way to manage meaningful SEL lessons!!! What is included: 1 Week's Worth of Material-- Lesson Description and Explanation Mental Health Check-Ins Teacher Slides - 5 slides- one per day (Google Slide Deck and PDF Versions) Student Handbook - 6 pages - 5 days and title slide (Colored or Black and White Versions) (also included on Google Slide Deck) SEL Activity- Social Story- Getting Homework Done- an interactive book/printable designed give students strategies to complete their homework independently with success. Daily Opener Activities - Post-Its : Students jot down their prior knowledge of the topic Social Scenario: students read a social scenario and then write how they would respond to it Be the Artist: students draw a picture related to the objective Word Search: students complete a word search related to the topic Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: students see how THEY can achieve the objective of the week by drawing a picture of themselves being successful at it. How I would use in my classroom-- I LOVE using a bellringer/opener/starter. Whatever language you use in your class, they are the best! We all know that the first few minutes is always chaos in the classroom. You have to address student needs, take attendance, and the other billion things that come up the first second your students see you. This activity is a great way to gain those 10-15 minutes back so that you can address those needs. The students start off by filling out the mental health check-in. This tiny addition to my classroom has made SO MUCH DIFFERENCE for my relationships with students. Students simply color in if they are filling Red, Yellow, or Green in that moment. You will pre-teach what those different things mean and how you will respond to them when you see student responses. Then, you simply glance over student's shoulders to see how students are coming into the classroom. I have different ways to handle when students are yellow and red, but you can customize this to your own responses.
