Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify a named or pictured coping skill (Name It category).
Classify a coping strategy described in a short scenario as healthy or unhealthy, with reasoning (Good or Bad? category).
Sort a coping skill into one of four types — calming, distraction, physical, or processing — from a multiple-choice list (What Kind? category).
Demonstrate a named coping skill physically for teacher evaluation (Act It Out category).
Teaching tips
Print the color version for a visual display and the black-and-white version as a lower-ink backup, since both contain the identical 20 questions.
Use the 3 blank card slots at the end of each version to add questions specific to strategies your class has already practiced.
For the Act It Out category, decide your judging standard before play begins, since the card itself defers to 'Teacher's Choice' on whether the demonstration counts.
Explain the Regulation Risk wager rule before play starts: a wrong answer in that category costs the team the point value of the question, unlike the other four categories.
Skills covered
Coping-skill identification — students name a coping strategy from a picture or description across four point values in the Name It category.
Healthy-vs-unhealthy judgment — students evaluate short scenarios (a student walking away from detention, a student journaling about a divorce) and decide whether the coping response shown was healthy or unhealthy.
Coping-skill categorization — students classify strategies like journaling or playing a video game into calming, distraction, physical, or processing types.
Physical demonstration — students act out a coping skill such as the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique or an I-feel statement for teacher assessment.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How does the wager work in the Regulation Risk category?
It can hold any type of question, and unlike the other four categories, a wrong answer loses the team the full point value of that question rather than simply earning no points.
Who decides if a student's Act It Out demonstration earns the points?
The teacher does. Each Act It Out card is marked 'Teacher's Choice' on whether the student completed the demonstrated coping skill correctly.
