Do you have kiddos who struggle with appropriate reactions to situations? This activity can help! 

Packed with 20 scenario cards, students will have the opportunity to read through them and decide just how big the problem really is. 

Included are three fuzzy monsters; big, medium, and small. Cut them out and laminate them. Have students read each scenario and sort them depending on the size of the problem. (You should have three different sorting piles). If it's a big problem, have them place the scenario card on the big monster. If it’s a medium problem, have them place the scenario card on the medium monster. If it’s a small problem, have them place the scenario card on the small monster. 

Works best if all pieces, (monsters and scenario cards) are laminated.

Great for 1:1 or small group sessions.

Enjoy!
