Why Teach Coping Skills for the Classroom?

One of our most important jobs as educators is to teach students the "HOWS"; "how" to research, "how" to ask good questions. "how" to synthesize ideas, "how" to read & write, etc. But before students can get to the more academic "hows," they need skills to help them "how" to self-regulate, "how" to focus, "how" to ask for help, and "how" to be in a calm place to be able to relate in healthy ways with others. Teaching children self-regulation tools helps their thinking part of their brain, the pre-fontal cortex, to remain engaged and in charge. Many of our students need extra support in this area, often coming to school already in a state of fear, worry & chronic stress. Until we help students manage and relate -with kindness & compassion- to these challenging emotional experiences, they will not be ready to learn the important "how academic tools" that students need to be successful in and out of school.

Ways to Use These Coping Skills for the Classroom Fortune Tellers

Designed as a "one-size-fits-all" package, teachers and school counselors can use this Coping Skills for the Classroom product as a classroom or guidance lesson, as a small group activity, or as an individual intervention for students who need additional support with self-regulation. Use these fortune tellers as part of your classroom management strategies and social-emotional curriculum, teaching your students healthy and appropriate tools to help them get calm, centered, and re-focused. This activity is also a non-threatening way teachers and school counselors can talk to their students about replacing negative behaviors with positive ones. Perhaps best of all, this fortune teller lesson/game/intervention (or however you want to use it) helps to build greater connection and rapport, because as we know, play is the language of children.
