This resource will help to develop children's growth mindset as well as help them risk assess a situation. Children need to look at their mistakes, find out what they learnt by that mistake, understand the consequences and have another go or don't have another go depending on what has been learnt. Equally children do need to assess the risks of an activity they are doing to make sure they do not hurt themselves and to give a bit more thought into what they are doing. They need to understand the consequences of their mistake.

A game board
18 mistake scenario cards

Explanation cards on being ‘RUDE’, ‘MEAN’ and ‘BULLYING’.
So many children and parents use the term ‘bullying’ incorrectly. This resource aims to teach the difference between being rude, mean or actual bullying.
Being rude is doing something unintentionally and doing it once. Being mean is doing something intentionally and doing it once or twice. Being a bully is doing something intentionally and doing it over and over again even when told to stop.
The scenario cards are a mixture of rude, mean and bullying situations. The cards can be used with the game board or with the worksheets. They will prompt lots of discussion on what bullying really means.
Children will explore intentional or unintentional behaviour, controlling behaviour, the victims feelings, and remorse or sorrow for the behaviour.
There is also a poster added as a free extra.
Starring me Emoji style can be printed as a booklet or you can use the sheets individually. My interpretation of the different emojis with worksheets to fill in. Lots of opportunity for discussion.
There are 40 emojis covered with 42 sheets altogether. The second page is a blank to enable it to be printed duplex and booklet style.
6 Monster Character posters
There are six monsters in the pack with key vocabulary. There is a monster for each basic emotion- happy, sad, angry, scared, surprised and disgusted. Each monster is a character. We have:
Angry Adam
Disgusted Doug
Happy Hannah
Sad Simon
Scared Sophie
Surprised Sam
Each character is displayed on one page which can then be printed as A3 or A4 to create your display. The character is asking ���How do you feel today?’ Alongside the monster is some key vocabulary. It is so important for children to learn other emotion words too so they can express their feelings.
6 Monster character cards
There are also some smaller cards (2 per page) which you can print as A4 or A3 depending on how big you want your cards to be. Each monster is holding a card for the child to write or draw on. The idea is that the child can choose which monster they feel like. They can then write or draw why they feel like that.
7 Banners
There are also 7 banners to choose from. Each one having a different colour so you can choose the colour you would like to use. These are in PDF format so to print as a banner you will need to change the settings. Everyone’s printer is different so it is difficult to give instructions but on my computer I choose poster print, and reduce the percentage to 75%. This prints over 3 pages which you can then stick together to form your banner. Obviously you could print it bigger or smaller by changing your settings.
6 emotion cards
Each character on a separate card. (4 per page).
Writing paper for each character (write your own title/question)
Drawing paper for each character (write your own title/question)
Speech bubble, thinking bubble and comic strip
This is a display and resource pack but it doesn’t stop just at displays. These cards could be used as a teaching tool too:
You could do a circle time each week concentrating on one character. All emotions work could be on that one character for the week.
Children could have a go at creating their own characters for each emotion. Use the drawing paper included in the pack.
Write your own scenarios on the monster cards to help children relate to the emotion.
Make up stories of why ‘Doug is disgusted’ or ‘Adam is angry’. Use the writing paper included in the pack.
Draw comic strips showing why ‘Sophie is scared’. (A comic strip is included in the pack).
Use to model emotional regulation. Tell the children ‘I feel like Angry Adam today because…’ What should I do about that? How can I calm down?
There are lots of activities you can do with this pack. Perfect for early years or SEN.
