Kindergarten Critical Thinking Printables
Growth Mindset Bell Ringers Activities | FREE Daily Warm-Ups K-1st Grade
By Kirsten's Kaboodle
This two-week free growth mindset bell ringer warm-up now includes a digital distance learning option in SEESAW. Please refer to the final 7 pages of the product for instructions and links!
These growth mindset activities are perfect for teachers who are looking for easy-to-use, information-packed, daily growth mindset instruction in the form of warm-ups, bell ringers, or station activities. These 15 activities, which span across 3 weeks, will give you everything you need to teach your KINDERGARTEN OR 1ST GRADE classroom about all things growth mindset for three weeks! This is a sample of a larger product, Growth Mindset Daily Warm-Ups for ONE YEAR (Kinder and 1st grade). You can find all available grade level bell ringers here:
GROWTH MINDSET ACTIVITIES: Daily Warm-Ups for Kinder-1st Grade
GROWTH MINDSET ACTIVITIES: Daily Warm-Ups for 2ND-3RD Grade
GROWTH MINDSET ACTIVITIES: Daily Warm-Ups for 4th Grade and Up
NOTE: This pack of activities may be TOO DIFFICULT for Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year! I advise Kindergarten teachers to wait for a couple of months to begin OR be prepared to do the activities as a group (or provide extra support). Some warm-up activities will be quick, but others will require discussions and extra time to complete.
Please note that there are 3 TOPICS that come with affirmation posters. You will also find 4 vocabulary cards to support the new growth mindset verbiage your students will learn. I advise teachers to display the vocabulary as it is introduced (on a bulletin board or whiteboard). INSTRUCTION WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH WEEK TO INTRODUCE NEW VOCABULARY AND CONCEPTS. Be prepared to support students each day during the warm-up as well.
THIS FREE WARM-UP INCLUDES THE BOLDED WEEKS BELOW. The other topics are covered, week by week, in this full-year growth mindset instructional package:
