SEL Flashcards for Social Emotional Learning with SEL Coloring Pages
Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Preschool, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, Activities, Centers, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Flashcards, Worksheets, Coloring Pages
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!

Bank Account Board Game: A Fun, Financial Literacy Lesson for Addition, Subtraction, or Integer Practice (Grades 3-7)
Special Resources, Life Studies, Special Education Needs (SEN), Life Skills, Math, Addition and Subtraction, Addition, Subtraction, Money, Finance, Home Economics, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Games
Bank Account Board Game: A Fun, Financial Literacy Lesson for Addition, Subtraction, or Integer Practice (Grades 3-7) Do you want to give your students real world math practice for addition and subtraction up to 4 digits? Do you want to show them how the math they learn in the classroom is helpful in everyday life? Do you want to find a way to have them practice loads of math without even noticing? Then this financial literacy board game is perfect for you! How to Use: Print the two page handout double-sided for each student. Go through the bank account vocabulary together as a class. Then give your students time to try to match the vocabulary words to the clues. Next, talk about what actions help your bank balance and what actions hurt it, and try to think of more examples as a class. Now you are ready for the game! Print a game board for each group of 2-4 students, have six-sided dice, and small objects to use as counters. The game’s main objective is to educate students about financial literacy concepts such as spending (withdrawing) and saving (depositing) money within the context of a bank account. Each child takes turns rolling a six-sided die while using counters on the board. Students start with a $300 bank balance, and each turn leads them to a realistic scenario that increases or decreases their balance. I encourage students to use a scrap piece of paper to keep a running tally of their balance throughout the game. Although rare, some sequences of turns can result in negative balances. If this occurs, you can help your students use integers to calculate a negative balance OR create a rule that students can not have a balance below zero, so they can not complete that action and must miss. a turn. Grades to Use With: This game is perfect for students in grades 3-7 who are practicing adding and subtracting with numbers into the thousands. It can be used as a review for this math skill or in conjunction with a financial literacy unit. What's Included: 4 Page PDF: Teacher Instructions 2 Page Lesson/Worksheet 1 Page Game Board

Understanding Emotions, Floor Game and Table-Top Game
Life Studies, Special Resources, Life Skills, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, Games, Activities
Understanding Emotions, Floor Game and Table-Top Game Understanding Emotions, Floor Game and Table-Top Game is a dynamic teaching resource designed to help children recognize and articulate their emotions effectively. This interactive game becomes invaluable for educators working with students who are at the early stages of emotional development in Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3. The main objective of this product is to assist students in identifying different feelings—a critical first step towards efficient emotional management. Expressing personal sentiments properly can significantly improve academic success and lead to healthier social relationships later on. Two Gameplay Styles: Floor & Table-Top Floor Version: Offers an active learning experience that encourages movement as a part of cognitive development. Teachers place emotion cards on the floor while reading out prompts like "your pet has had puppies", prompting pupils to move towards cards that best depict their reactions. Discussions about differing emotions among peers foster empathy. The Table-top Version: Suitable for small group activities or settings with limited spaces/time. Similar gameplay dynamics encourage expression through moving pieces onto cards instead of physical student movement—an empathetic approach towards learners who may find unrestricted mobility challenging. In addition to these two versions come separate color and black & white sets of emotion cards—16 each—for flexibility according their classroom resources availability or preference. Bonus Resources This resource comes along with detailed instructions accompanied by an invitation to The Teacher's Lounge for access to weekly Social Skills Resources—a boon for Life Skills education-focused teachers seeking more resources! Crafted into worksheets format across 42 discrete prompts (including editable prompt cards), emotions can be explored under diverse circumstances—which proves especially important when dealing with younger grades where sentiments fluctuate rapidly. Conclusion In summary, the Understanding Emotions Floor & Table Top Game brings educators an advanced approach towards teaching emotional literacy—eliminating the stigma around feeling certain ways while simultaneously building lifelong skills - being socially and emotionally aware. Provided as a downloadable PDF file, this teaching resource will make a meaningful addition to any curriculum striving to shape well-rounded individuals by promoting emotional strength and intelligence from the start.

In this resource, you will get an engaging game like Apples To Apples. There are 36 strategy cards and 18 situation cards. This is an SEL game. Each person takes a turn with being the judge like Apples to Apples. It is important to make enough sets for the number of groups who will be playing. for example, I recommend at least 3-5 people playing together for each group. So if there are 20 students, then create at least 5 different sets of the cards, Then follow the directions for the game below: First, everyone gets 5 strategy cards. There is no revealing the cards to other players. Then one person is chosen to be the "judge" for the first round. I usually pick the oldest person to make it fair. The judge reveals the card to all and even can read the card out loud. The the other players choose one of their strategy cards to handle that particular situation. Then the judge decides which one they would use. Important; there is not right or wrong here, just what one person would do in that situation. Next the next player goes (usually counter clockwise) to who will be the judge. The person will reveal the situation and the other players will play their strategy card. Play as long as time allows. Next, you can print off the mindfulness coloring sheets for students to color and reinforce the idea or coloring mindfully when they are upset, frustrate, need some time alone, etc. There is a way to change the word and position of the word in the mindfulness coloring sheet. These are SEL coloring pages.
