Not sure what to door say or how to help your students when a tragedy occurs? Traumas like natural disasters, acts of violence, a school shooting, or losing a valued community member impact your classroom in many ways. These packets give you a handful of activities, tips, and book suggestions to help you navigate tragic events with your students.

There is some overlapping content in these products. Some pages have been adapted to meet the needs of the grade level (line-spacing, verbiage, etc.).

These products pair well with these books. Depending on the tragedy, some books will be better than others. A Flicker of Hope by Julia Cook and A Terrible Thing Happened by Margaret M Holmes are beneficial for any tragedy. Some of these titles are specific to certain tragedies.

Check these titles to find what you might need:

1. A Flicker of Hope by Julia Cook
2. Worry Says What? by Allison Edwards
3. A Terrible Thing Happened by Margaret M Holmes
4. Flood by Alvaro F. Villa
5. The Memory Box: A Book About Grief by Joanna Rowland
6. Listening to My Body: A guide to helping kids understand the connection between their sensations and feelings by Gabi Garcia.
7. I Can Handle It (Mindful Mantras) by Laurie Wright

9. In My Heart: A Book of Feelings (Growing Hearts) by Jo Witek
10. Coping Skills for Kids Workbook: Over 75 Coping Strategies to Help Kids Deal with Stress, Anxiety and Anger by Janine Halloran

Take note:

• Please be aware that these resources are NOT intended to replace mental health services for students in need. Depending on the tragic event, the proximity of the trauma, and other factors, students may need help on a more individual basis.
• Teachers and counselors should closely monitor students’ reactions to activities. Students respond to situations, activities, and feelings differently. Make decisions in the best interest of students. It is okay if some students refrain from participating in an activity. It might also mean that some students require a referral to a school psychologist or school counselor.
• Be very clear with students about your intention to share (or not share) the final product(s) with others. If you intend to display or send any part of this home to parents, students should be aware of that before the activity begins.
• These activity packs were created for communities experiencing a tragedy. This might include a natural disaster, the loss of a community member (including a teacher or student), or an act of violence (including a school shooting).
• Though these were not intended to be used for students who experience (or are experiencing) chronic trauma or who have had traumatic experiences in their past, you may find that some of the activities and discussions are beneficial.

NOTE: THESE FILES INCLUDE A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

These products include a digital option (as well as the no-prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of each packet. The mini-book, comfort cube, and coloring pages are not included digitally.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kathy F. says, “Great to use for character ed lessons with my school family.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elizabeth S. says, “Thank you!  My students had fun with this.  I was so appreciative that I had the choice of printing in color or black and white.  My district does not have a color printer available for teacher use, so I always appreciate B & W.  It also allows for the students to color the pictures.”
