$10 - $20 Character Education Games (by date, oldest first)

By The Treasured Schoolhouse

This is a big BUNDLE of games to help kids learn or review the true reason for the season. All these games focus on the birth of Jesus and the nativity story. This bundle of games is perfect for a variety of ages/grades at home or in the classroom. They could be used in a center, for an independent activity, or as a group.

This bundle is over 20% off the individual game prices!

Included in this nativity games bundle:

⭐ Christmas Nativity Follow the Star Game

This is a complete game that could be used for the Christmas nativity or for Epiphany. It can either be used as a fun game or educational tool for Jesus’ birth. There are 2 versions of the game to get the gifts to baby Jesus using the same game board!

The game includes....

• Game Board – 2 pages

• Directions (1 for each version)

• Star Cards (educational or fun)

• Blank Cards (editable)

• Optional Card Backs

• Die, Player Tokens (3), and a Tab Label

There are 2 versions of the game. One is for “fun” and the other is educational to be used as a review or supplemental material on the birth of Jesus. In the first version, the Star Cards have fun actions (move ahead, skip a turn, etc) depending on the card drawn. On the educational Star Cards, there are questions related to Luke 1-2 and Matthew 1-2. In addition to questions, there are true or false and fill in the blank. The object of both versions is to be the first player/team to get your gift to the manger!

The blank cards are editable so that you can add your own actions or questions. Optional card backs are also included. The game can be printed and mounted in a file folder or printed on card stock and laminated. If mounted in a file folder, there is a tab label included and the directions could be mounted on the front of the file folder or laminated separately.

Also included are 3 player tokens (the gifts of the magi) and a die numbered with 1-5 and a star. If desired, you could use your own, but these are designed for the game.

NOTE: The questions on the Star Cards are from the RSVBCE, so they are aimed toward Catholic use, but could be adapted for any religion.

UPDATE: (12/16/2020) This has been updated to the Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition (RSVBCE), so they go along with the other nativity activities and uniform with other items at The Treasured Schoolhouse. This update can not be seen in the preview, but is shown in one of the thumbnails.

⭐ Christmas Nativity Shadow Match Mat

This shadow match game can be mounted inside a file folder for a file folder game (ffg) or printed on card stock and laminated for a game mat. The shadows under the stars are matched to their actual object to make a nativity scene.

Included in this game mat set:

Game Board

Nativity Images

2 Tab Labels (for a file folder)

Cover/Directions

This cute nativity scene is great in any religion class, Christian school, or at home to work on during the holiday season and remind them of the “reason for the season”!

⭐ Nativity Bingo for Christmas

This is a bingo game for the items that are for the Christmas nativity. This bingo game could be used to teach or review items that you’d associate with the birth of Jesus because they will have to identify and mark an image of the item.

The game is called “STAR” (when players get 4 in a row, they say "STAR" instead of "bingo'), so it is 4x4, which is 16 spaces per game board. There is no “free space”. There is a total of 24 cards and each of them has border that is holy. There are also 2 types of calling cards that include the image of the item and the name. This bingo game is in full color.

Included in this set:

· 24 Bingo Game Boards (2 per page)

· 2 Calling Cards (1 page to call out the items and mark them or individual calling cards to draw the item and call it out)

NOTE: The items in this bingo game are found in the Catholic version of the Bible, but may also be suitable for other faiths. There are also items that aren't traditionally found in the Bible, but make for great teaching moments!

The nativity items included in this game:

inn ✯ star ✯ Bethlehem ✯ palm tree ✯ Mary ✯ multitude ✯ camel ✯ gifts ✯ stable ✯ baby Jesus ✯ Balthazar ✯ Jesus' home ✯ King Herod ✯ myrrh ✯ and many more for a total of 32!

⭐ Nativity ONE Card Game for Christmas

This is a fun card game to celebrate the Christmas nativity! The game could be played in the classroom or at home for lots of fun all holiday season long. This game is based on a favorite game of many, but this one is to help remember the reason for the season.

You will print 4 copies of each page of colored game cards (not the WILD cards). So that they last longer, be sure to laminate the cards. Print the storage box on card stock for more durability (and it could be laminated as well). Directions are included for game play, as well as how to keep score for the game. You can also come up with your own rules or scoring method if you don’t want to play until such a high score is met.

Included in this game….

▷ 60 nativity game cards

▷ 1 storage box to keep the cards in

▷ 1 page with directions

⭐ Nativity Task Cards or SCOOT Game

This is a set of 28 task cards for the Christmas nativity to help teach or review the birth of Jesus. They can also be used for a game of SCOOT.

This set includes:

• 28 Task Cards

• 1 Record Sheet

• 1 Answer Key

• “How to” Play SCOOT

NOTE: The cards are based on the RSVCE edition of the Bible, so they are suited for the Catholic faith, but may be used for other faiths as well.

⭐ Who is Watching Baby Jesus? Game

This is a fun Christmas nativity game that asks, Who Is Watching Baby Jesus? It’s based on “Who Stole the Cookie”, but has a Christian Christmas twist to use at home or in the classroom.

The game includes directions, 9 cards, lyrics for game play, and a storage box for the cards. If more than 2 players are using the game, you’ll want to print more than one set of cards. Please see the preview for the complete game!

Anger Regulation Resources to Teach Emotional Regulation and Calming Skills

By Mrs Bell The Crafty Counselor

This Anger Bundle is packed with calm down tools and anger resources that can help kids work through and understand their anger.

Included are four resources:

Anger Monsters
Calm Down FlipBook
Keep Your Cool, Don't Have a Meltdown
Anger Workbook

Check out the information below for a detailed description of each product.

1) Anger Monsters

Sometimes a student just needs to calm down while building a monster and coloring for a bit before they are able to clearly express what made them so angry. This resource is designed for just that.

Included are three types of monster eyes and six monster body templates with various types of questions that can be used with all types of students based on ability levels. The monster bodies include various drawing and writing activities that are designed to calm students down while challenging them to think of what makes them angry and how they can better handle that anger.

These anger monsters have allowed my students to calm the angry monsters within themselves. I hope your students find great success with them too.

2) Calm Down FlipBook

This Calm Down Flipbook is a quick way to get students thinking and talking about how they can control their emotions and anger.

Assembly is a breeze. Print all pages on colorful paper (double sided printing FLIP ON SHORT EDGE). Line the pages up in the correct order, fold over, staple and you have your very own flipbook!!!

This flipbook has students explore and recognize their triggers, identify their unique type of anger, test out new calming strategies, learn to take control of their emotions and recognize which strategies might work best for them.

My kiddos love this, I know yours will too! :)

3) Keep Your Cool, Don't Have a Meltdown

Included in this download:

*Keep Your Cool Posters (19)

Each feature a different strategy that will help your students learn to keep their cool. These are perfect for cool down corners, think time areas, or as a visual aid while teaching the calm down strategies.

*Flip Book for Students

This is a mini version of the posters that students can keep close by or at their desk. They can avoid meltdown mode if they refer to these handy cool down strategies.

*Don’t Have a Meltdown Chart

Displays the 19 cool down strategies in an easy to understand way.

*Bookmarksand Desk Charts

The bookmarks are perfect for any student and the desk chart are ideal for students who need an easy to locate visual reminder of the strategies.

*Think Time Sheets (4)

(require writing and reflection, consider student ability level before use)

Think time is an important skill for everyone, not just our little ones, to learn. Think time allows a person to step back and reevaluate their current situation, allowing them to not act in the heat of the moment. Once calmer, they can think of how to handle the situation from a rational perspective.

I know when I am upset I do not think the clearest or make the best choices for myself, why would I expect a child to be able to?

Think time allows children a safe outlet to bounce around ideas of what they did, where they went wrong and what they are going to do about it. It allows children to process the information without feeling the need to become defensive or protect themselves. They can problem solve and come up with their own solutions, allowing for tremendous personal growth and development.

Let’s face it, we may be teachers, but ultimately we’re still human. We are the rational adults, however sometimes we let our emotions get wrapped up in the situation. We are invested in our students and can have an emotional reaction to their behaviors at times (no matter how hard we try to hide it). Think time can also provide a much needed break from the situation, for both the student and the teacher.

4) Anger Workbook

All too often I see angry kids. Everything seems to set them off. When I ask them to talk about what happened, they cannot seem to put their feelings into words.

This workbook is designed to help children understand and express their anger. This interactive booklet requires kids to explore their anger through use of questions and drawing activities that force them to think deep and evaluate their own behavior.

Color and Black & White copy included in download.

I have found great success with my students who use this workbook. I hope yours do too.

Be cautious of student ability levels when using with second grade. This activity requires a lot of writing.

For small version, print workbook double-sided (for best results, I click double-sided "short-edge binding" when printing). Simply fold the pages in half with the front and back cover facing out and staple to bind the booklet.

For full page booklet print double sided with long edge binding.

Emotions, Let's Start Talking About Them:

There's been a lot of talk about emotions lately, how do we know if our students truly understand the differences between emotions?

Included in this packet are:

Six Emotions Posters (Sad, Anger, Fear, Happy, Surprised, Disgust)

Student Check In Sheet

Emotions Color Chart

Emotions Worksheets (4)

Color and Black + White Copies Included

The six colorful 8 x 10 posters can be used as a tool to get the emotions conversation off to a fun start. Emotions are complex, there isn't one right way to express or describe them. Show students the many words they can use to express themselves. Maybe even take the opportunity to pull out a dictionary and expose students to words they've never encountered before.

Once done using the posters to explain each emotion, they can be hung in offices or classrooms as a reminder and/or resource for students.

Use the Student Check In Sheet to understand how students are feeling in four key areas: home, school, class and with friends.

Use the Emotions Color Chart as a visual of all the emotions and as a conversation starter. Talk through the various pictures; point out similarities and differences between the emotions, etc.

Use the four worksheets to solidify student understanding.

Discussing Emotions, the Foldable:

Included in this download are five different printable foldable templates and a roll and describe cube! Color and black & white versions are available.

Have students talk about their emotions in a fun way!

Students roll the cube and describe the emotion they land on or tell a story about a time they felt that emotion.

Using the foldable, students lift each of the flaps of the foldable and write or draw their answers to the printed questions. This is a simple way to get kids talking, start the conversation about how they handle emotions or to get to know the student better.

Assembly takes about three minutes. Print the template you want, fold where directed and then cut. Easy peazy!

Anger Workbook:

All too often I see angry kids. Everything seems to set them off. When I ask them to talk about what happened, they cannot seem to put their feelings into words.

Color and Black & White copy included in download.

*Be careful using with second grade. The activity requires a lot of writing.

For full page booklet print double sided with long edge binding.

Walk a Mile In Someone Else's Shoes, Empathy Builders.:

These cards are perfect for small groups or individual student use.

Sometimes our students need help understanding how their actions and/or how certain situations can affect other people's feelings. With your students, use these 48 empathy building situation cards to discuss how people would feel in various situations. Have students answer the questions on the cards and then discuss the scenarios and student responses.

Make your students think of how others feel and how they can help.

To create these cards:

For full color cards, print double sided, pages 3-26.

For black and white cards, print double sided, pages 26-50.

Laminate for durability.

Cut on dotted lines to separate.

Expressing Emotions Tab Book:

This activity is perfect for small groups or individual lessons with students who need a little extra help understanding their emotions. This Tab Activity Book makes discussing and expressing emotions fun and interactive!

Included:

One Tab Activity Book with Cut & Glue Activity

All pages are black and white for ease of printing. Print pages 6-19 double sided on plain white paper. Cut along dotted lines to create each individual tab page. Put pages together in the correct order (tabs lining up properly) and staple along left side to create your Tab Activity Book!

It's that simple and super quick to assembly!!

Students answers three to four questions on each page. The questions allow students to explore how they feel and how they handle their various emotions.

There is also a cut and glue activity. Students cut out and sort the 32 situations provided based on how the situation would make the student feel. More situations are provided than will be used. If the student runs out of situations that would make them feel a specific emotion, they can write their own example of a situation in the box.

Here's how I use this product:

I had a little boy tell me he wants to talk about his emotions in a fun way. He said he has a hard time matching his face to his emotions and explaining how the emotions feel. I started him off with the Emotions Foldables, which he absolutely loved. He said he was starting to practice “making the face match the feels” and wanted to talk about the emotions more.

So I made this for him!

Necessary Supplies:

Access to a double sided black & white printer

Scissors

Glue

Colored pencils

Construction Paper that matches Inside Out colors (optional)

Assembly & Activity

Single sided print the two situation pages for the cut and glue activity.

Printed out the Tab Workbook pages double sided. Cut along the dotted lines on each page and then line each up in the correct order.

When the pages are lined up correctly (happy, sad, surprised, fear, angry, disgust) staple down the left hand side to create a spine to your Tab WorkBook.

Cut out each of the scenarios and sort them into various piles based on how they make the student feel.

I usually teach colors to match each of the emotions (the same as Inside Out colors) so I like to pull out construction paper that matches each of the emotions to add a little color to the cut and glue activity (yellow, blue, orange for surprised, purple, red and green).

Color the cover however you want or to match with the color from Inside Out if you are going with that theme.

Once we finished the cover, we get down to the good stuff.

We start with the first emotion, happy. We discuss what happy means, draw a self-portrait of the student happy, explore what makes us happy and talk about what it feels like to be happy. We answer the questions on the page and draw pictures together.

We look at the pile of situations we had presorted for happy and chose four situations that made the student most happy. We glued each of the four situations to their appropriate colored construction paper (in this case yellow, this step is optional).

Then we cut them into squares small enough to fit into the boxes printed on the Tab Workbook Page.

We then glued the situation in a box under the chosen emotion’s page in the Tab WorkBook.

We repeated this process for each emotion.

You really get to explore each emotion in depth with your student.

Enjoy exploring emotions with your students!
