New Product :: Behavior Think Sheets

One of the most difficult parts of working with students is helping them manage their behavior. Traditional discipline such as suspensions and expulsions that has been found to be ineffective at changing behavior has left teachers and administrators feeling powerless as to how to deal with negative school behaviors.

With schools being required to use alternatives to detentions and suspensions more and more, one of the best ways to help students learn to exhibit appropriate behavior is to teach them to think about their actions and their effect on others.

These think sheets give students of any age a place to process through their own feelings about a situation, as well as to consider how their choices have affected other people like teachers, parents, other students, or principals. They’re ready to go and are great for classroom use, in-school suspension rooms, or for small group or individual counseling sessions.

6 different 2-sided sheets are presented for grades PreK-K, K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-1. Sheets for 1st grade and under contain kid-friendly graphics to help non-readers learn positive behavior and appropriate ways to handle their anger. Sheets that have graphics are presented in black and white for easy printing.

Here is a preview of some of the pages!

New Product :: Listening & Following Directions Coloring Activities

Have you ever thought about the difference between “listening” and “hearing?” They may sound similar, but they are very different! You may be able to hear sounds with your ears, but that does not mean that you are really listening. To be a listener, you must pay attention and think about what the other person is saying. I don’t know about you, but a lot of my students really struggle with this!

These activities are designed to help kids learn to actually listen, rather than just hearing. They contain single and multi-step coloring directions that students need to follow in order to complete their picture correctly.

After students are finished, have them compare their pages. Did anyone follow all of the directions? Probably not! Sometimes we think we are listening, but we may not be listening as well as we think. You might also talk about how two students may listen to one direction and interpret it differently. For example, “color the three flowers on the ground pink, purple, or orange. You decide which colors go on each flower.” Some students might use all three colors on one flower, while other students might use a single color on each flower.

It’s also helpful to discuss strategies for listening to students after completing the activity (i.e. staying quiet, repeating the direction quietly to themselves until the finish it, doing the step right away before they forget what they are supposed to do, not letting their mind wander to other things, etc.)

This pack contains 10 different coloring activities, as well as “scorecards” for students to see how well they listened and followed the directions! Great for ages 4-7.
