Kindergarten Social Emotional Learning Activities (by price, low to high)

If you are looking for a fun, engaging, and interactive activity for your elementary students - this is for you!! This activity gets students working together, up and moving around, while they also practice perseverance, self-control, patience, and so much more! Add academic questions to each of the "snowballs" that they must answer to finish the race and watch all of the learning happen! So. Much. Fun!

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!
