Games and sensory objects will teach elementary students social and emotional skills in a fun and creative way. These skills are important for making friends and learning how to manage strong emotions positively. Emotiblocks and feeling identification games can help even the youngest students recognize and handle strong emotions. Fidget toys and calming cards teach students ways to deal with anxiety or fears.
Resolving arguments with friends, handling bullies, and recess misunderstandings are all real concerns for K-3 students. Playing social skills board games is a fun way to learn about social interactions, negative and positive. These materials will ensure that my K-3 students can truly say, "Everything I need to know, I learned in Kindergarten." Social and emotional intelligence begins at an early age and will continue into adulthood. The skills that children learn at age 5 are important throughout their lifetime. Being accepted and learning to accept others will foster inclusion, empathy, and an understanding of diversity.
