Behaviour Prompt Fans

Behaviour Prompt Fans
Special Resources, Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Not Grade Specific, Activities

Managing student behavior without constant verbal redirection can be challenging. These illustrated prompt fans offer teachers a quiet, visual solution. The 7-piece fan provides friendly visual cues to get children back on track in a non-disruptive way. Educators can hold up prompts like “Good Looking”, “Hand Up”, or “Stop” during instruction. A subtle glance conveys expectations and reminders to stay focused and behaved. Prompts for posture, listening, and participation keep students engaged in lessons. The “Well Done!” piece offers quick positive reinforcement. Rather than loud reprimands, these materials allow subtle behavior corrections. Students, especially visual learners, appreciate the low-key signals. Consistent cues aid self-regulation skills. Durable for repeated use, teachers can integrate these fans seamlessly into classroom management. Silent redirections with a simple visual aid maintain a calm, productive learning environment. Children quickly grasp the meaning behind each illustrated piece. Integrate these into your toolkit for harmonious lessons with fewer disruptions. Establish clear expectations and redirect behaviors while keeping valuable teaching momentum. The fan has 7 pieces which include the prompts: - Good looking - Good listening - Good sitting - Hand up - Well done! - Time out - Stop The wonderful clipart images are courtesy of Kari Bolt Clipart

Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, Activities

In this SEL Boom Deck, students will learn about things they can and cannot control. This is an important skill in self-regulation, relationship skills, and self-awareness. There is audio for each card so reading is not required. There are 46 Boom cards and 43 are task cards. The first 3 cards go over the concepts and the directions. Some of the in control examples are; a child is bored in class, a child make a choice that got them late for school, a child raised his hand to ask for help, a child studied for a test and did well on it, a child took something after someone dared them too, and many more. Some examples for the out of control concept are; a child's balloon was popped from a tree branch, there was a thunder storm, a family is moving, a child is walking in the rain, a child got a toy grabbed by another class member, a child is stuck in traffic and worried they will be late, a child did not get the lead role in a play, and more. After students participate in the Boom deck, they can write and draw their own examples of things they can and cannot control. There is a also a cute airplane that students can color and draw themselves being the pilot of their own plane (and mood, actions, feelings, etc.) This Boom deck can be something students do whole group (there enough cards for each student to do an example) or in centers , or you could assign this individually for homework. If there is an example of someone caught in a situation that causes them to feel upset regardless of whether they can or cannot control it, students are prompted by another card to help the person in the example feel better and do some things that they can control to help themselves. Please see Boom Deck's Terms of Use located on their website.

In this SEL product, you will get SEL Flashcards for Social Emotional Learning. You will also get SEL coloring pages because there are two different pages of emotions/feelings. Both pages have a black and white version and a color version. The black and white version allows your students to color their own faces and images. The emotions listed are; happy, sad, silly, proud, shy confused, scared, excited, angry, tired, loving, sick, disgusted, cry, jealous, disappointed. These flashcards can be used for so many purposes. I have used these flashcards for Go Fish games where the students have to ask for a certain feeling. You will need to make two copies of the colored emotions poster to make this game work. If a student asks for "angry" and the student they asked has it, that student give the card to the one who asked and that student places the match down on the table and names a time they felt angry. I have also used this resource for memory games. You would, again, make two copies of each emotion. Then you would mix up the cards and place them face down (I would highly recommend cardstock) in a random order. Students then would choose two cards and reveal the emotion cards. If they are a match, then the student can share when they have felt that way. If it is not a match, they would place the cards face down again the the next student would take a turn. This is a fun and interactive game but also helps students discuss their feelings in a non-threatening way. This resource can be used as a whole class activity where students color their flashcards and then cut them out. They can randomly pick a card and name a time they felt that way. This can also be used as a center activity for Go Fish or Memory (as I described above). The ways to use these Emotion SEL Flashcards are endless!

Exploring Amazing Jobs Interactive Flip Book introduces young learners to eight careers in a hands-on way. With real like illustrations and interactive story elements, children get to explore the tools and roles that make each profession unique—whether it's the firefighter's hose, the doctor's stethoscope, the builder's hammer, or the chef's whisk. This book hopes to spark curiosity for the many different jobs that help our world work together. Learners will match picture cards to the key tools of each job. For example, when learning about a builder, they'll match the hammer card; when meeting a chef, they'll find the whisk; and when exploring an astronaut, they'll select the telescope. Other tools, such as a watering can, paintbrush, and book, encourage children to connect various professions with the equipment used in those roles. Early learning about different jobs is essential because it helps to understand the diversity of roles that contribute to society. It also introduces the idea that every job, no matter how different, is valuable. This activity book is specifically designed for early elementary students and special education learners. It promotes active participation, improves comprehension skills, and enhances their understanding of the tools and tasks associated with various professions. The simple and clean illustrations help children focus on details while engaging in the matching activities. Printing and Assembly Instructions Print the document in landscape orientation.

o or oo? Phonic Game

o or oo? Phonic Game
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Activities, Games

This o or oo? Phonic Game is a listening game to help the child to hear the ‘oo’ sound in words, as different to the ‘o’ sound as some children have difficulty hearing the new ‘oo’ sound. This is a simple oral game for 2 players to help to develop the ability to hear the sounds as separate in words without the need to worry about text yet. No die needed. These children may have auditory processing difficulties, of which there are growing numbers of children. With the recognition of the needs of these children and timely intervention, many can survive school. Sadly without it, they may soon fall behind. If you have a child who cannot hear the graphemes in words easily, then find or make a game to help. This is one such game you can use. Background to why I made this game One of my pupils has a speech delay. When I introduced him to ‘oo’, he tried to sound out the words saying ‘o’ instead of ‘oo’. It was as if ‘oo’ was a foreign sound to him. So, I devised this game to help him to hear the ‘oo’ sound in words he uses frequently in speech. After playing it a few times he is now happily sounding out to read and spell words with the ‘oo’ sound. This game uses only the ‘oo’ sound as heard in ‘moon’. Who can use the 'o' or 'oo' game? Anyone who is teaching a child who shows difficulty in learning to read words with /oo/, trying instead to say /o/.
