Stress Management Game played like Apples To Apples-Handouts

Stress Management Game played like Apples To Apples-Handouts
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Games

In this fun game, played similarly to the Apples To Apples game, students will read different stressful situations and choose a strategy they would use for that situation. There are 18 situation cards and 36 strategy cards. Each player draws 5 strategy cards (they do not show the other players which cards they have). The "judge" will draw a situation card and show the other players the card after reading the situation. For example, "You don't know the answers when taking a test." Then the other players will choose a strategy card they would use for that situation and place it face down to near the judge. The judge will read the different strategy cards and choose which one they would most likely choose. Important to convey to students: There is no "wrong" strategy, just a strategy that the judge would most likely use. Then for the next round, a different person is the judge and the game continues. the discarded strategy cards can get placed under the strategy pile. the person whose strategy was chosen, gets the situation card and also gets one point. This is a fun and engaging way to get students talking about different strategies they would use for stress management as well as different types of stressful situations they can manage if they need to. In this resource you will also be getting 2 mindful coloring handouts. This is a great way to finish the lesson after the game. I also like to begin this lesson by introducing a Brain Pop on stress. You can also choose a short video of your choice or a book about stress to prime the students' brains about what stress is, possible triggers of stress and how to cope with stress. Then the game can be played and can reinforce the topic.

What are your Political Viewpoints? A Survey for Middle and High School is an 18-page engaging activity that will help students understand what it means to have a political viewpoint and help them identify where they and a family member fall on the spectrum of political viewpoints for current issues in our nation. It is also an opportunity for students to have a discussion with an adult in their family about politics today. Finally, students will write a reflection about this activity. First students identify how familiar they are with 10 key terms: politics, point of view, viewpoint, perspective, spectrum, opinion, fact, liberal, conservative moderate. After that, they will do a reflective writing on facts and opinions with compelling questions guiding them to think deeply about opinions. Then with the teacher's guidance, they will read through a series of statements about key issues today and identify on a scale of 1 to 5 whether they agree or disagree with each statement. Later, at home, they will interview a family member to see where they stand on these issues. They will then write a reflection on what they learned about themselves and their family member. The next day, in small groups,, students will identify key characteristics of liberals and conservatives. At this age, students are beginning to formulate viewpoints about current issues in our nation. What are your Political Viewpoints? A Survey for Middle and High School offers teachers a way to introduce and discuss with students key issues that many of them care about in a safe and nonjudgmental environment while keeping students engaged. The lesson includes the following: a link to a force copy of the Google Doc so you can edit the survey questions if you need to. (Some of the statements might be troublesome depending on where you teach. You can easily modify this survey or delete some questions so as not to cause problems with your district’s policies regarding controversial topics and still end up with the same results as long as you change the scoring results.) About this Resource--a table for teachers that lists everything in the resource A hyperlinked Table of Contents Standards, Objectives, and Learning Targets An Essential Question-- How do our individual political beliefs shape our understanding of societal issues and influence our perspectives on governance and policy-making? 3 Guiding Questions-- 1. How do our responses to specific policy proposals reflect our values and priorities? 2. How are our personal backgrounds and experiences connected to the political ideas we hold? 3. How might our personal experiences and backgrounds influence our attitudes towards government intervention and social justice initiatives? Various Handouts Political Viewpoints Terms Activity Reflective Writing on Opinions What Are Your Political Viewpoints? Survey What Do Liberals and Conservatives Believe? This lesson works well with other Election-related resources in my store. In non-election years, you can use it in a Constitution Unit.
