Social Emotional Learning Activities

Are you looking for an easy way to improve student behaviors? This is a fun, easy, print and go activity.

I use the secret missions with my students. Simply print the packet, cut out, and post the missions in your room (be sure to cover each mission with a "secret mission" card".

Then the magic begins. Each morning during your morning meeting time chose a kiddo to uncover a mission. Discuss the mission, the importance of it, what it looks like. I generally have a secret task force who also watches for the behaviors. Then when your children are "caught" they earn a party point/tally/ball (whatever reinforcer you use) for your class. Currently my kids are working to earn hot chocolate with toppings.

I hope this is something fun for you and your kiddos. Please be sure to follow me for additional resources and updates!

A great little get-to-know you activity, suitable for new classes where students don't know each other well yet. It also encourages students to think a little more deeply about themselves and how sharing such details may help them to broaden their friendships.

Use this strategy to help students understand the difference between reporting an incident and tattling. They get to practice spelling as well!

Print and Go!

These 10 free printing penmanship practice pages let your elementary students practice their printing and cursive all while writing (and hopefully internalizing) a weekly positive affirmation statement. It's perfect for individual practice or use as a centers activity. This PDF document includes 10 sample handwriting practice pages - 5 printing pages and 5 cursive pages - and is printable.

If you like this product, consider purchasing Printing Handwriting Practice with 48 Weekly Positive Affirmations and Cursive Handwriting Practice with 48 Weekly Positive Affirmations. The full resource can be a stand-alone product or work in conjunction with the 2023-24 Teacher Planner, 2023-24 Student Planner, and Question of the Day Google Slides. The same 48 weekly positive affirmations are included in all of the resources.

In my own 5th grade classroom, I printed this document out, placed each page in a sheet protector, and bound them in a binder for use in a center activity. Students use a whiteboard marker to practice the page of the week. It save me from printing a ton of copies and after the initial set up is done, I have an easy activity to throw into my centers rotation. Printing pages can be used in any order you want.

Please note: If you have trouble printing, be sure your printer drivers are up-to-date.

Free download! This download includes Page 1 only out of 12 in this set, interested in more? Check out the entire set here: Mindful Mandalas - Attention Set #1 - Mindfulness, Coloring Activity

Introducing our "Mindfulness Mandala Coloring Page" – a wonderful tool to help our students embrace mindfulness and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness. This thoughtfully designed mandala coloring page is more than just an art activity; it's a gateway to mindfulness and emotional exploration.

As a teacher, I understand the importance of nurturing our students' well-being and providing them with tools to navigate the challenges they may face. That's why I'm excited to offer this "Mindfulness Mandala Coloring Page" as an extra assignment to encourage our students to consider mindfulness.

The captivating mandala design is created to capture their attention and transport them to a world of tranquility and creativity. Through coloring, students can find a moment of respite from the demands of their studies and immerse themselves in the present moment.

Each page includes prompts such as, "Imagine the mandala as a garden of emotions. Explore how different colors can nurture and cultivate the emotional landscape within you," provides a gentle invitation for our students to engage in self-reflection. As they select colors and fill in the intricate patterns, they can observe the emotions that arise and embrace the unique beauty of each stroke.

By incorporating mindfulness into their coloring experience, students can develop a greater sense of emotional intelligence and self-compassion. This assignment offers an opportunity for them to understand that emotions are fluid, and just like the mandala, they change and evolve over time.

I believe that promoting mindfulness among our students can help them manage stress, enhance focus, and develop empathy towards themselves and others. Encouraging this "Mindfulness Mandala Coloring Page" as an extra assignment is my way of supporting their emotional well-being and fostering a positive learning environment.

Let's embark on this mindful journey together, guiding our students toward self-awareness and personal growth with the "Mindfulness Mandala Coloring Page." I'm excited to witness the positive impact it will have on their lives, both inside and outside the classroom.

A "Pocket" Full of Kindness - An SEL Activity that focuses on kindness and the idea that you can take it with you wherever you go and "pull it right out of your back pocket" as the saying goes!! This activity is great for younger elementary students who are getting an introduction to all things kindness and all of the different ways that they can show kindness to others! For this activity, you will need string and scissor to help make it the most successful! My students LOVED being able to put their very own pocket together! I love the hands-on lessons as much as they do!

An eco-map is often used an assessment tool in clinical mental health settings, but can be a beneficial SEL activity for social awareness. This exercise can be modified for small children all the way through adults.

The graph asks the participant to picture their social life as an ecosystem where they are at the center. In the blank space around them they can write in all of their formal and informal social ties and resources they have. (For younger children I suggest offering the option to draw the people in their life!) For further reflection, the participant can then add a + to signify if the person/resource is a positive part of their life, a - to signify if the person/resource is a negative part of their life, or write +- to signify a give and take relationship.

I use this worksheet along with social awareness lessons to encourage students to think about who they can ask for help from, who they have as supports, or reflect on relationships. It also allows you to gain insight into your students' life and resources outside of the classroom.

"Help your students explore and understand their emotions with our emotions coloring sheet for the classroom!

This resource is a simple template for an apology letter. While working with middle school students, I heard a lot of snarky comments being spewed without much forethought. I started having students write apology letters when those comments came out. The template is designed to help students think about their intentions, how they likely made the other person feel, and what they will do differently in the future.
