An interactive KINDNESS activity! This was an absolute favorite in our classroom! Our students were beaming afterwards and one even said "Wow, I never thought my classmates would say such nice things about me!" They talked about it for days afterwards and it has been an environment changer!! Included is a Google Slides presentation to present to the class with instructions included - an icebreaker to start, the activity, and reflection questions to follow. All you will need is paper and writing utensils! Enjoy!!

"Building" a safe, healthy, and happy learning environment starts with the people that we share it with! In this activity, students take on the opportunity of working effectively with others, thinking creatively, communicating respectfully, and cooperation with others all built into one activity! This is a blast for the whole class - all while focusing on so many important SEL skills. This activity includes minimal preparation yet all the benefits of so many social emotional learning skills to build (pun intended!) My students did not want this activity to end!!

This "Think Before You Speak" activity puts a focus on taking time to reflect and think before speaking to others. In this interactive activity, students are put into teams, where they are helping one another guess a specific word while also avoiding the guess of another word. Students must focus and carefully select the words in which they are using to be helpful - a social skill that we all utilize daily (even if we do not realize it!) This activity is a great resource to bring this skill to life and take time to reflect and connect - while having a little fun in doing so! Everything you need for this activity is included in the digital download, including reflection discussion questions, so once you purchase, you are ready for your next classroom lesson! *A note is included on materials that may be helpful for the activity, but are not necessary when fully utilizing the activity!*

A full MONTH of communication activities ready to go! Do your students love interactive and hands-on learning experiences that are also engaging and fun? This digital download provides FOUR ready to use lessons that focus on communication and working respectfully with others, while also working through challenges, with a hint of perseverance all wrapped into four consecutive lessons! The lessons provided can be used as solo activities or for consecutive weeks, as they build off of one another nicely and provide a continuation of both review of the previous activity while also creating more of a challenge with each "level up" to continue skill building. My students LOVED each of these activities and I was able to adjust and use my creativity to use this with multiple grade levels! We had a blast and were able to practice our communication skills in fun and interactive ways. Instructions included on each slide for all four activities. Enjoy!!
