In this SEL Boom Deck called Help The Elf, students will get to make choices about how someone may be feeling, how they can solve a problem, and making choices about what is the right thing to do. There is audio on every card so there is no need for reading. This is a Christmas themed Boom Deck and fun for students to do before the holiday break. There is also a fun Spot The Differences Handout that has a Christmas picture on it. There are 10 differences. In this deck, there are situations related to someone not getting the present they wanted and how should they respond, how a parent might feel if a child snuck a cookie, how a person might feel if someone is talking about a playdate they were not invited to, how someone might feel if a person only wanted to be partners with one person, what kind of peer pressure is daring someone to climb the fence, which is better; a fake apology or no apology, someone helping someone up and taking them to the nurse's office, saying hello to a new student and inviting them to play tag at recess, and many more. There are 24 playing cards so everyone in the class can get a turn, you could have each student do this deck as a center , or you can have students do this in partners or groups. There are cute Christmas images that show different types of feelings. There are true/false questions and there are "What should they do?" questions. This Boom deck can produce some good discussions around the choices one makes. To top it off, after students complete the Boom deck, they can do a fun Find The Differences Handout where they need to find 10 differences between images. I always find it helpful to have an activity students can do afterward. For the Boom deck's terms of use, please visit their site.

Size of The Problem Clip Cards For Understanding Size of The Problem
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Activities
Size of The Problem Clip Cards As educators, we know that understanding the varying scales of issues or problems can be challenging for younger learners. To address this, we present the Size of The Problem Clip Cards - a set designed to teach students to differentiate between small and large problems using scenarios they might encounter in daily life. This resource comprises 31 clip cards providing a diverse array of real-life situations. Each card aids students in recognizing the size or scale of an issue and realizing that not everything should be treated as a major concern—it's a crucial part of emotional intelligence, and it helps children avoid unnecessary stress or overreactions. Description: A functional teaching tool beneficial especially for those just starting school who may struggle with reactions to different circumstances. An ideal tool for elementary-aged students who may have communication challenges and prefer non-verbal responses. Invaluable for teachers dealing with pupils who struggle with anger outbursts or habitual tattling—issues often stemming from misjudging problem sizes. You will appreciate how easy these cards are to implement within your curriculum—they require minimal preparation but offer significant benefits for understanding social-emotional learning concepts. Both full color and black & white versions are included allowing you flexibility based on your resources at hand. Purpose: The cards serve not only as teaching aids but also contribute significantly towards developing resilience among young learners by helping them understand good coping mechanisms vis-à-vis different situation magnitudes—teaching them: not all troubles warrant being made bigger than they effectively are. Remember—giving kids coping skills early on is one genuinely effective way to prepare them better for life's ups and downs ahead!

Anger Meter
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
Identifying and constructively expressing anger and other complicated feelings can be difficult for children. This anger meter resource is a simple yet effective tool allowing students to gauge and communicate their emotions. Using a 1-4 visual scale, kids rate where their anger level is at, facilitating self-awareness. The anger meter has an easy color-coded bar showing level 1 as green for "I'm calm" up to level 4 which is red for "I'm furious" There are simple icon images and clear descriptive words so even young children can use the tool independently. Leaving it available for students to grab whenever upset prevents escalations while building emotional intelligence skills. Teachers benefit from children having a consistent way to signal rising irritation before reaching meltdowns requiring disciplinary action. Children learn to articulate harder-to-verbalize inner experiences. Over time and through modeling, students can name specific anger triggers using the meter, then apply coping strategies depending on their rated level. Early intervention prevents conflicts. Simple, visual and easily accessible, this anger meter gives students and teachers a common ground for addressing frustration proactively. Children develop autonomy communicating feelings in a safe, understood way. Managing anger becomes more concrete and collaborative. This small meter measuring big emotions is an impactful support guiding children gently through social-emotional learning. Included are 2 PDF meters - one with emoji faces and one with clipart faces
