9th Grade Social Emotional Learning Games

This interactive SEL Community Building + Cooperation activity is based on the famous question, "If you were stranded on a desert island..." however, it comes with a small twist! Students will answer get to know you questions that will then turn into their list of items that they can potentially bring on board on their island adventure. The fun part is that they do not know that their answers to the questions are building their lists for the island. Once questions are answered and lists are created, they are put into teams to decide which items must come and which will stay behind! If time allows, the activity also comes with plot twist scenarios that add a little more fun to the mix! This digital download includes everything you need and is ready for your next fun lesson. Bring some paper along for students to utilize and you're all set.

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!!

Give your students the opportunity to explore many different careers in a fun and interactive way! This "What Career" card game is played similar to the card game "Apples to Apples" and my students LOVED it! It lead to a lot of conversation, sharing of likes and dislikes, and questioning of what specific careers were - it was so refreshing to listen to them talk non-stop about careers during these class periods! Included in the download is everything you need to play the game, including instructions and step by step guide!
