New Product :: Social Skills Land

Sometimes we have to disguise learning into games! Students love Candyland®, but don’t always like talking about bullying, anger control, or problem-solving.

Students of all ability levels love moving their piece along the same Candyland® board they’ve come to know and love, and hardly even realize they’re learning at the same time! For older students, you don’t even have to use a board. Just use question cards in a trivia-type game and award points for correct answers/attempts.

Luckily, they can do both with Social Skills Land! This contains 576 EDITABLE cards (with decorative card backs for easy organization) to help students learn about the following topics:

  • Anger Control
  • Positive Thinking
  • Debugging
  • Bullying
  • Feelings
  • Friendship

Social Skills Land
– Safety
– Cause & Effect
– Compromise
– Manners
– Divorce

Social Skills Land
– Mental Health/Disability Info
– Antonyms/Synonyms
– WH Questions
– Pragmatic Language
– Inferences

Social Skills Land
– Body Language
– Categories

Example Questions:

1) What is an antonym for “bumpy”?
2) MAKE IT POSITIVE! I’ll probably fail this test just like the other ones.
3) Draw a scared person.
4 What does interrupting mean?
5) TRUE OR FALSE? When parents split up, it is because they don’t love their kids anymore.
6) Act out what an angry person would look like.

New Product :: Social Emotional Trivia Games

All right…so it’s getting to that time of year when I really start running out of new ideas for my social skills and counseling groups. I feel like there’s only so many ways we can go over controlling anger before I (and they) are ready to pull our hair out. It seems like at least once a week someone asks me, “but can’t we play a game on your computer?”

And really, they have a point. I mean, there are so many websites that have reading and math games, but far fewer that have counseling and social work games. So, I made these!  They’re Jeopardy-style trivia games in Powerpoint format that cover a whole bunch of different topics. Even my squirmy kids pay attention 🙂

Each has 24 editable questions to help kids learn about a variety of social and emotional skill topics:

The questions are just “think and answer” questions either. I made sure to make it interactive, so they’ll be drawing, acting, thinking, and talking! And while I don’t have a Smartboard, a few lucky people I’ve talked to do and they’ve been able to use this on their as well for a whole class.

So hop on over to my store and pick them up for yourself!  There’s also a version for Divorce that’s free if you’d like to try it out first!
