Strength cards showing different positive attributes. They can be used in a variety of ways to help children to recognise that we all have strengths and to acknowledge their own strengths.
Why do you need this?
Strength cards can help children recognize and acknowledge their own strengths, fostering a positive self-image and boosting self-esteem. By identifying their unique qualities and abilities, students can develop a greater sense of confidence and self-worth.
Encouraging students to focus on their strengths can build resilience and help them cope with challenges and setbacks. By recognizing their abilities and positive attributes, children can develop a more optimistic outlook and feel better equipped to overcome obstacles.
Strength cards can highlight the diversity of strengths and talents among individuals. By showcasing a range of positive attributes, teachers can emphasize the value of differences and promote acceptance and appreciation of others' strengths.
How and when might you use this?
These cards can be used in a variety of ways:
· Circle time - children encourage each student to choose a card that resonates with them and share why they selected that particular strength.
· Individual reflection - Encourage them to reflect on times when they have demonstrated that strength and how it has positively impacted them or others.
· Group discussions - Pose questions such as, "Which strength do you admire in someone else?" or "How can we use our strengths to support each other?"
· Peer recognition - Encourage students to recognize and celebrate each other's strengths.
· Goal setting - They can choose a Strength card that represents a quality they want to develop further or a goal they want to work towards.
What is included?
48 cards showing the words: graceful, sporty, brave, funny, caring, clever, helpful, playful, friendly, musical, intelligent, happy, loving, creative, artistic, strong, honest, respectful, adventurous, patient, joyful, sensible, cheerful, gentle, calm, protective, resilient, reliable, responsible, curious, persistent, forgiving, enthusiastic, hopeful, assertive, courageous, energetic, fair, organised, imaginative, proud, active, ambitious, careful, co-operative, hard working, loyal, kind
Disagreeing Respectfully SEL Presentation + Worksheet
By Erin Cusumano
This lesson provides a framework (including a step-by-step break downs and examples) for situations where disagreement arises. The lesson covers when it is productive to voice disagreement, when it is not, steps to handle both situations, and how to move past disagreement when it is not able to be resolved.
With middle and high school students I find this topic is relevant just about everyday in the classroom with peers and staff. I carefully made this lesson to cover disagreement neutrally, not framing it as universally good or bad, but dependent on context and delivery.
This lesson is a great chance to add in activities that promote self-advocacy and larger themes of pro-social communication. The lesson includes a presentation (10 slides), a worksheet (2 pages), and a presentation guide (1 page). With other free sources (which I discuss in the presentation guide) I made this lesson span over 4 days.
The slides and worksheet are simple to increase comprehension and suit middle through high school students.

Secret Mission Behavior Management Activity to encourage positivity
By Until the Pieces Fit
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!
