Less than $5 School Counseling Activities (by date, oldest first)

Teachers can utilize these resources to teach students how to self-regulate their emotions and request a break if necessary. Directions and tips are included on the second page of the PDF, but I encourage you to check out my blog post here highlighting how I use these in my classroom.

Glimmers, which are the opposite of triggers are those moments of pure joy and serenity that light up their lives. I use the materials to share and practice glimmers with my students & after just 3 days back the kids have already started using the term "glimmer" when something brings them joy!

The word Glimmers originates from Deb Dana, LCSW, psychotherapist, and author who coined the term. Glimmers which is the opposite of a trigger are those fleeting instances that bring us warmth and peace, offering a profound positive impact on our mental health. With gratitude & written permission from Deb Dana, I'm thrilled to share these activities with fellow educators!

Materials Included:

PowerPoint: Utilize the included PowerPoint slide show to introduce the concept of Glimmers to your students. With 40 slides featuring real-life pictures, students can begin to recognize things that bring them Glimmers. It also helps create connection and shared interests, with their classmates.

Worksheets:

8 student pages

• identify your glimmers (things that make me happy, included, helpful etc)

• I feel a glimmer when....

• track your glimmers

• Things I see, taste and hear that bring me glimmers

Bulletin Board: Colorful lettering (multiple styles) to make a bulletin board for your classroom or your school. Cards are included for students (& staff) to share the things that bring them glimmers

2 pages of "me and my Glimmer". Take a picture of your students happy with their glimmers & attach to the page. A great reminder of the things that bring us joy.

8x11 Posters: Sprinkle your class or school with five 8x11 posters. Whether it's in your classroom, hallway, or on your door, these posters serve as tangible reminders to celebrate life's Glimmers.

Exploration Beyond: Curious to learn more? Dive into the enlightening USA Today article on Glimmers and their mental health benefits: Link to USA Today Article. You can also explore more about Deb Dana and her insights on regulation at Deb Dana's Website.

Join us in extending a heartfelt thank you to Deb Dana for her gracious permission to incorporate her trademarked concept into these materials, inspiring a wave of positivity and well-being.

Set of 10 no prep print and go mindfulness coloring pages with positive motivational quotes for stress and anxiety relief to encourage mental wellness. These pages are great to use for indoor recess, after testing, for early finishers and as additions to subplans.

Incorporating mandala coloring pages with short motivational quotes in the classroom can be a creative and relaxing way to encourage mindfulness, positivity, and creativity among students. Here are some simple ideas on how to use them effectively:

• Morning Mindfulness: Begin each day with a short meditation session where students color mandalas while reflecting on the motivational quote of the day. This can set a positive tone for the day and help students start their day with a calm and focused mindset.
• Mindful Breaks: During breaks or transition periods, allow students to engage in coloring mandalas as a way to take a mindful break. This can help them relax, reduce stress, and return to their tasks with improved focus.
• Positive Affirmations: Pair each mandala with a short motivational quote that reinforces positive affirmations. Encourage students to read and internalize these affirmations as they color, promoting self-confidence and a growth mindset.
• Goal Setting: Have students color a mandala that represents their goals and dreams while reflecting on the associated quote that inspires them to strive for success.
• Classroom Decor: Allow students to color mandalas during free time, and then use their finished artworks as classroom decorations. Display the mandalas along with the motivational quotes to create an uplifting and inspiring atmosphere.
• Collaborative Artwork: Create a large mandala poster on which each student contributes by coloring a section. Place a motivational quote at the center or around the mandala to create a collaborative artwork that represents unity and positive energy.
• Emotional Expression: Have students select a mandala and quote that resonates with their current emotions. This can be an opportunity for them to reflect on their feelings, while coloring provides a creative outlet for emotional expression.
• Gratitude Practice: Combine mandalas with quotes centered around gratitude. Ask students to color while reflecting on things they are grateful for. This practice can cultivate a sense of appreciation and positivity.
• Classroom Reflections: Integrate the mandalas and quotes into journaling or reflection exercises. After coloring, students can write about their experience, thoughts, and feelings that arise during the activity.
• Inspirational Wall: Designate a section of the classroom as an "Inspirational Wall" where students can hang their colored mandalas with motivational quotes. This serves as a reminder of the collective creativity and encouragement within the class.
• Theme-Based Learning: Align the mandalas and quotes with your curriculum themes. For example, if studying personal growth, use quotes related to learning and improvement.
