Social-Emotional Learning Games: Volume Two

This dynamic resource allows students to learn and apply various social-emotional learning (SEL) strategies through game playing! This product includes more detailed versions of the 5 most popular games from my student support group guides. SEL games are a wonderful way to teach students social-emotional skills in a no-pressure environment. These games can be developed and used as the main part of any lesson or group session; alternately, they can be simplified for use in warm-ups and intro/closing activities. You can even use these games in individual counseling sessions if you don’t mind playing along with your student/client! Additionally, these games show kids that both social-emotional learning and counseling are positive experiences- your students will have so much fun playing these games that they will look forward to and even seek out future SEL/counseling opportunities!

Each game comes with: game preparation steps, detailed directions on how to play the game, a mini-lesson on the game topic (topics are listed below), and discussion questions for use in processing the game experience. This resource is appropriate for students in grades 3-12 and is aligned with the American School Counselor Association standards.
