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.

Emotions Fan
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
IUnderstanding emotions is a key social-emotional learning goal for young children. When children can identify and label their own feelings and recognize emotions in others, they gain skills that benefit social relationships and self-regulation abilities. This engaging emotions fan activity helps teach children to connect emotional words and facial expressions. The resource includes 15 illustrated fans depicting different emotions. Vivid facial expressions clearly convey the feelings happy, sad, scared, tired, worried, excited, angry, disappointed, silly, jealous, confused, poorly, disgusted, surprised and embarrassed. By matching the facial cues to emotion words, children build their emotional vocabulary and recognition skills. Caregivers can prompt conversations about each feeling, as well as when and why we experience different emotions. Learning about emotions builds self-awareness. Children will gain tools to articulate their own feelings, rather than acting out. The fan pieces also encourage nonverbal children to communicate emotions through visuals. Beyond self-understanding, these materials teach valuable empathy and social skills. Recognizing others' emotions helps foster supportive social relationships. With colorful illustrations and essential vocabulary, this activity engages children in learning about feelings. By linking facial expressions and words, children will gain emotional awareness and language to express themselves. This promotes self-regulation and social-emotional competencies that allow preschool and early elementary students to identify, understand, and navigate emotions effectively.
