Cut, Sort, & Glue-BIG versus small problems? An SEL Activity

This teaching resource is an engaging SEL (Social Emotional Learning) activity called "Cut, Sort, & Glue-BIG versus small problems?" It's crafted for educators looking to teach and emphasize problem size recognition to younger students.

Target Audience

Primarily designed for kindergarteners through second graders, this resource can be helpful in a special resources or life skills class setting.

Main Objectives

  • Distinguishing visually between big and small setbacks using two relatable characters – Kelso the frog representing 'small problems' and human figures depicting 'big problems.'
  • To offer approachable understanding of the emotional weight of different dilemmas that children may encounter.

About the Activity

In alignment with its title's instructions - Cut, Sort & Glue - this activity includes lifelike picture representations of different-sized hitches meant to be cut out by students. They categorize these images as minor ('small' issues which Kelso might handle alone) or major ('big' things requiring adult intervention or assistance). Then they glue them onto corresponding spaces in their workbooks—students will understand and internalize the concept better through such tactile interaction with material.

Versatility of This Resource
