This social emotional learning game will help your students “slide” their way to different calming strategies and self-regulation techniques. Students will love learning social skills and anger management strategies while using the volcano sliders to describe how they would de-escalate each situation.  

Empower students to keep each volcano from erupting by describing how to respond in a way that diffuses each situation. 

Students will learn calming strategies, coping skills, and self-regulation tools with this highly engaging, interactive, and effective social-emotional learning game. 

Included in this Download:

• Calm Down Chart
• 45 “Keep From Erupting” Situation Cards
• Premade Slider Templates
• Cut & Glue Slider Templates

Students are challenged to look at potentially upsetting situations and decide on an emotional regulation strategy they could use in that situation. They are challenged to think of ways to diffuse the situation and to think of actions that could help make the situation better. 

Students will have a blast "sliding" their way to learning new calm down tools and developing skills for emotional regulation.

Here’s What Other Educators Like You Said:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Christy D. says, “This volcano activity is so useful!  I use it as a take home to my volcano 'experiment' that symbolizes how anger 'erupts'.  The kids love having the volcano reminder of positive ways to cope with anger.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jamine N. says, “My kids love this. I pair it with a volcano experiment with baking soda and vinegar to symbolize what happens without coping skills or communicating feelings.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Katie T. says, “I love this resource because students can personalize it and there is a movement component.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Megan M. says, “Thank you for making this resource - so much time has gone into this. Just what I needed!”

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.
