Free Kindergarten Social Emotional Learning Resources

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!

Roll a Story

This resource was inspired by a game I play with my preschool students when thinking about Size of a Problem vs Our Reactions. 

This fun game will get your preschool, pre-k or kindergarten students thinking & engaging with the idea that our reactions will differ according to the size of a problem. It works perfectly with your Unit on Problem Solving.

What’s included in Size of the Problem VS Reaction Game?

• 15 Common Scenarios

• 8 Different reactions

When to play this Size of the Problem VS Reaction game?

•Play this game as a whole group activity to reinforce learning.

•Great addition to your unit on problem solving.

How to Play this Size of the Problem vs Reaction Game?

1. Invite a student up to pick out one scenario and one reaction card.

2. Have them act out the scene. Appropriate or not, encourage your student to act it out.

For example, a student may choose:

Scenario: a broken pencil

Reaction: throw yourself on the floor and cry uncontrollably

3. This might lead to some giggles, but now is the time to activate their critical thinking skills with some of the discussion question provided.

Bring having a growth mindset and positive perspective to life with this activity! It is fun for the whole class and they get a great reminder to take with them! This activity comes set with everything you need to discuss and demonstrate having a growth mindset, perspective taking, and holding a positive point of view. It also pairs nicely with the short story (Rosie's Glasses), but can be used as a stand alone activity as well!

Talk about "which view would you choose" and then have students color away! Depending on the amount of time you have, have students cut out their glasses and glue the rectangles together, or use it as a fun take home follow up activity!

"Kind or Trash" gives a fun new outlook on discussing kind vs unkind actions for younger elementary students. While the discussion is great, this activity also gets them up and moving and looking forward to their turn! This activity had my classes engaged through the entire lesson and it created great conversation as well! The basket and recycling bin is a great visual for students as they are recognizing kind vs unkind actions.

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!
