School Counseling Games

Understanding All Emotions (Session #6)

By Mrs Bell The Crafty Counselor

The Board Game! Teach students how to recognize and respond to emotional situations. Included: 8x10 Game Board 60 Double-Sided Situation Cards Game Guidelines Game Pieces You will need a single dice to play. After teaching each emotion (sad, uneasy, surprised, angry, disgusted, and happy) play this game with your student or small group. Follow the game guidelines and enjoy playing this game with your students. Assembly: Print pages 7-16, double-sided, on cardstock. Laminate for extra durability. When cards speak of emotion words, they are referring to the words used on the posters in the first lesson “Teaching Emotions”. Refer to this if you are teaching the two lessons in conjunction with one another. If you are not, simply ask the student to provide synonyms for the emotions they are describing. Example: Emotion is sad. Emotion words could be blue, upset, fragile, unhappy, down, etc. There are two types of game pieces; flat and pop up. To create the flat pieces, cut on the dotted lines. To create the pop ups, cut on the dotted lines and fold on the solid lines. Feel free to substitute anything you would like for the game pieces. You could use coins, chips, the possibilities are endless, get creative! Game Rules: All players pick a game piece and begin in square #1: The first player rolls a single dice and moves the appropriate amount of spaces (1-6). If they land in a space that does not have a chameleon in it, the next person takes a turn. If they land on a space that has a chameleon on a flower vine, (example space #4, #7, #11, #15, #23, #26, #30, #34, #42), they pick a Situation Card from the pile. They read the situation out loud, and answer all of the questions (one to three questions per Situation Card). If they answer all questions correctly, they follow the worms to a higher space, closer to the food bowl (and the winners circle). If they answer incorrectly they stay put. If they land on a space that has a chameleon on a tree branch, (example space #9, #13, #20, #27, #31, #36, #45, #46) they automatically slide down to the lower level. They then pick a Situation Card, if they answer all parts correctly, they get another turn and roll the dice again. The game is over when someone reaches the winner’s circle. I hope your students have a BLAST with this game!! This is now part of a bundle! Click here for great savings! Mrs. Bell The Crafty Counselor

Emotional Regulation to Teach What’s In My Control vs. Out of My Control

By Mrs Bell The Crafty Counselor

Help students learn what's in my control vs. out of my control and how to protect their "brain space" with this comprehensive and engaging social-emotional learning (SEL) resource! Our brains have a limited amount of space to process information, so it's essential to teach students how to focus on what they can control and cope with the things they can't.

By using these activities, students will be guided through understanding the difference between what's in their control and what's beyond it, helping them reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

This resource is perfect for classroom teachers, counselors, or even parents looking for SEL tools to help kids recognize and prioritize what’s worth their emotional energy. Students will learn to identify situations that deserve their attention while developing self-awareness, decision-making skills, and coping strategies for dealing with life's uncertainties.

What’s Included:

Three engaging posters that visually explain "brain space" and the concept of a circle of control.
Situation Sort Game, which provides hands-on practice for students to classify and differentiate what is within their control versus what is out of their control.
Three differentiated worksheets tailored for different learning levels, offering students the opportunity to reflect on their personal experiences with control.
Worry Bracelet Craft, a fun and interactive project that helps reinforce calming strategies and gives students a tangible way to manage their stress and worries.

These printer-friendly activities are an ideal addition to any classroom, small group, or counseling curriculum focused on teaching students how to cope with anxiety, stress, and feelings of being overwhelmed.

With engaging visuals and interactive exercises, students will not only understand the concepts of emotional regulation but will also develop the tools they need to navigate challenging situations with confidence.

Empower your students to manage their emotional well-being and practice self-control by helping them recognize what they can influence in their world and what they need to let go of. This resource is an excellent way to foster mindfulness, stress management, and emotional intelligence in children while building a strong foundation for mental resilience.

This SEL toolkit is ideal for use during morning meetings, as part of a calming corner, or in any emotional regulation lesson. The activities help children make better decisions by focusing on what they can change and learning to accept and cope with what they cannot control.

Whether you're a teacher or counselor, these tools will be valuable in helping your students thrive emotionally!

By Mrs Bell The Crafty Counselor

It is vital that we teach our young elementary-aged students the difference between tattling vs reporting. Once students learn the difference, classroom interruptions are minimized, the important information is reported, and students understand how to recognize information that is important to tell adults.

  • Teacher Game boards (3 designs)
  • Monster Game boards (3 designs)
  • 81 Tattle or Tell Situation Cards

Print and laminate the three explanation pages, teacher and monster game board, and all 81 situation cards. Cut the situation cards apart and place them upside down in a pile. One at a time, students pick and read a card out loud. They then can use the three explanation posters to decide if this situation is a tattle or tell. Students will love playing this game and learning the difference between tattling and reporting.

Students will be challenged to ask themselves:

  • Is this my business?
  • Is someone in danger or hurting?
  • Was something done on purpose to harm me?
  • Is this something I cannot handle on my own?
  • Is this important information that an adult has to know?

In the end, students will have a clear understanding of what information the teacher needs to know! Empower your students to learn the difference between tattling vs reporting with this printable resource!

Teasing & Bullying Prevention Julia Cook 'Tease Monster' Book Companion Activity

By Mrs Bell The Crafty Counselor

There is a difference between teasing that is meant to hurt feelings and teasing that is meant to be playful and fun. Teach about teasing and help students to differentiate between situations where teasing is meant in good fun, and where the teasing crosses the line and becomes hurtful, or even bullying, with these fun tease monster activities!

This fun bullying vs. teasing activity helps students to understand that not everyone reacts or feels the same way in each situation. Scenarios that would not hurt one person’s feelings, may hurt a classmate deeply. It is important for students to realize the impact their actions and words can have on others.

  • Two Worksheets
  • Mirror Test Poster
  • Mean Tease Explanation Poster
  • Playful Tease Explanation Poster
  • Mean vs. Playful Labels
  • 54 Sortable Situation Cards

Use these materials to help students to define teasing, recognize what makes a tease friendly or mean, understand the difference between teasing vs. bullying, as well as realize how powerful their words can be.

This activity can be used as a book companion lesson for Tease Monsters by Julia Cook or can be used as a stand-alone activity. The purchase of Tease Monsters by Julia Cook is not necessary to utilize this resource.

With creative illustrations, metaphors, and analogies that help reinforce self-control, emotional regulation and impulse control skills, this mental health board game helps students succeed.

If a student struggles to think before they act or has ADHD, this SEL board game can provide a great foundation for their emotional regulation.

This board game is perfect for counselors, SEL lessons, individual activities, or group work.

✎✎✎ Topics Covered:

Using the analogy of a “remote control” students are asked to reflect on their behavior and the impact when they can:

  • “pause and stop” and think about their behavior
  • “fast forward” where impulses take over
  • “play” when you can just keep going
  • “rewind” when they can take a step back after our impulses have got the better of us and think about the consequences.

There are over 115 reflective question cards with 23 cards in each of the five various color-coded areas. These include:

  • Reflect – practical and relatable scenarios to help put learning into practice
  • Let’s Pause – reflecting on impulse control and its impact
  • Better Choices – exploring emotional regulation, coping strategies and strategies
