Behavior Choices Worksheet

Behavior Choices Worksheet
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables

Helping young children understand good behavior versus bad behavior is crucial for social-emotional development. This hands-on cut and stick activity creatively builds those critical analysis and reflection skills using engaging picture sorting. The worksheet features 10 different illustrated scenarios a child might encounter, like swinging on a chair, sharing a book, arguing over toys and putting resources back where they go. Students must examine each scene thoughtfully, discussing why the behaviors shown are right or wrong choices. Children then cut out each scenario and physically sort them under the columns “Good Choices” or “Bad Choices” according to their own reasoning. The active sorting process cements understanding on a deeper level than just circling pictures. They gain experience breaking down and evaluating situational appropriate conduct. Finally, children glue their sorted cards permanently under the correct column, creating a reference resource for reasoning through conduct analysis independently in the future. The divided visual reminds them that small daily decisions shape not just their own feelings, but peers’ too. Interactive, hands-on and displaying impact powerfully, this cut and stick behavior worksheet advances the crucial ability to differentiate right from wrong. Guiding children positively at a young age prevents much headache for teachers later!

My Biggest Worry Worksheet

My Biggest Worry Worksheet
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables

Anxiety can easily overwhelm children if fears and “what-ifs” grow too big in their heads. This creative visualization worksheet provides a launchpad for students to address their biggest worry in a manageable, step-by-step way. By externally analyzing concerns, rather than letting them snowball internally, kids reclaim control and perspective. The worksheet guides stressed children to first identify one standout worry plaguing their thoughts. They illustrate what this concern “looks like” in their mind – maybe a monster under the bed or dark swirling cloud. Describing it visually externalizes the worry from emotion into a concept now on paper. Students then examine two paths this worry could take at its worst and most likely outcomes. They draw their catastrophic envisioning of events if the worst were to happen. Contrastingly, they explain the realistic resolution based on past experiences and probability. This exercise illuminates how worries often play out better than the disastrous scenarios we imagine. Finally, children list constructive actions they can take to address roots of the worry, preventing both best and worst case outcomes. Coping strategies like talking to trusted adults, contingency planning or controlling reactions empowers kids. Allowing children to visually dump out, inspect and problem solve their biggest worry is immensely relieving, putting things into healthier perspective. This worksheet builds essential emotional management tools that alleviate anxiety now and better equip students to assess concerns rationally moving forward.

Describing My Feelings Worksheet Set

Describing My Feelings Worksheet Set
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables

Identifying and verbalizing emotions is essential yet challenging for young children’s healthy development. This set of 20 illustrated printable worksheets helps students advance self-awareness by examining common feelings in depth one by one. With 2 different versions of the worksheet featuring both boys and girls, children investigate their own experiences feeling various emotions. The wide-ranging worksheet set covers feelings like happiness, sadness, worry, anger, frustration, annoyance, fear, embarrassment, excitement and disappointment. Each page displays a child’s blank face ready to be drawn by students showing that feeling visually. They then respond to prompts describing a time they felt that way, associated thoughts they remember, and any physical reactions in their body. Analyzing the internal and external aspects of varied emotions builds children’s “feelings vocabulary” exponentially. Writing personal examples cements comprehension further, allowing kids to relate back to their own illustrations later as reminders. Sorting pages by intensity levels (high/medium/low energy emotions) teaches activation regulation skills too. With 10 diverse feelings covered, these interactive worksheets expansively grow children’s emotional intelligence. Kids become experts decoding their own ever-changing inner world while building empathy for what classmates experience too. This resource includes 20 worksheets showing 10 different emotions - 10 worksheets with boy faces on and 10 with girl faces.

Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Not Grade Specific, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets

To enhance the effectiveness of this That Bothers Me Worksheet, I've been pairing it with some coping strategies that I believe will resonate with our students: Pause and Breathe: When emotions run high, advising students to halt and take a few deep breaths can make a world of difference. It acts as a buffer, preventing immediate reactions and aiding in clearer thinking. Challenge Your Thoughts: Let's empower our kids to scrutinize those initial feelings of annoyance. Prompting questions like, "Is this a genuine reflection of the situation?" can lead to more objective and calmer assessments. Practice Empathy: Truly an essential life skill. Steering them towards seeing things from another's viewpoint can often diffuse personal grievances and provide greater understanding. Reframe the Situation: Highlighting the art of positive thinking can guide them to find beneficial outcomes in challenging situations. Rather than getting caught up in the problem, they can focus on potential growth or lessons learned. Practice Gratitude: Have you tried gratitude journals in class? Or perhaps a simple discussion on the day's positive moments? It's an excellent method to shift their attention to the brighter side of things. Letting Go: One of the hardest but most vital lessons is understanding that not everything is within our control. Teaching adaptability and acceptance can be truly transformative. Engage in Self-care: Emphasizing the importance of self-care can't be overlooked. Encourage activities that allow them to unwind and rejuvenate, be it reading, doodling, or just some quiet moments. Seek Support: We should constantly remind them that it's perfectly okay to share their feelings. Be it friends, family, or school counselors, seeking external perspectives can often shed light on troubling situations. Lastly, I must mention the wonderful clipart from Kari Bolt Clip Art that I've used – truly a game-changer for engaging visuals! Clipart images courtesy of Kari Bolt Clip Art
