Following Directions SEL Activity
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Activities, Worksheets & Printables
In this SEL product, you will get 3 handouts. One is the directions you will give to students with prompts for them to follow your directions. There are 6 prompts; cut out the 4 pictures, glue the bird on top of the tree, glue the ball on the left side of the tree, glue the puppy to the right of the tree, and glue the sun on the top right corner of the page. Then students are instructed to color the picture. There is a picture of the final scene if the students follow the directions. The 2nd one is the handout for the students to cut out images and glue them onto the handout. There are 4 images to cut out; a ball, a bird, a puppy, and a sun. They will glue around a tree. The 3rd is a fun mindfulness coloring sheet with owls (they are wise to follow directions) with the title "I'm A 1st Time Listener!" This is a great lesson for helping students put into practice after learning the tips for following directions and paying attention in school. You first can go over the key tips such as 1) Look at the speaker, 2) Listen to the directions, 3) Say O.K. (acknowledge the task), and then 4) Do the activity or task. Following directions is a great skill to model and practice. It is important to not assume students know this skill-especially after the pandemic. In my own work as a school counselor, I have noticed students have difficulty with even the most simple directions. Hopefully, this activity will help your students as well. This activity is a great follow-up to my Boom Deck on following directions here: https://teachsimple.com/product/following-directions-sel-boom-cards-with-audio In the Boom Deck above, the students will get to move objects based on the directions.

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.

Looking for an interactive behavior management tool? Coping strategies are our tools to combat all the uncomfortable feelings we go through in life, and we have the chance to teach these coping strategies in the classroom! Turtles have often been described as the most resilient animal given all that they face from the moment they are born. It’s no wonder we always see turtles in curriculums and story books having to do with SEL (Tucker the Turtle, Twiggle the Turtle) Turtles use their shell to protect themselves, both physically and emotionally. I created this Turtle craft to help students choose coping skills that will help them feel better when upset. There are 8 different strategies to pick from, and the numbers can also be used as a breathing exercise! Have your children point to each number for 8 slow and deep breaths before picking a number to lift to reveal their coping skills! The craft is easy to put together, print, cut and glue. You can also laminate and use a spinner to make it even more interactive! The download also includes a poster to hang in a Calm Corner or a Bulletin Board and serves as a reminder of the coping skills available. Included Coping Strategies: - Blow Bubbles - Dance - Yoga - Color - Play with Blocks - Drink Water - Count to 10 - Take a Break - Fidget Toy - Ask for Help - Play Doh Be sure to check out my store for resources focused on social emotional learning and mindfulness for little ones!
