This is a fun, engaging, creative and non-threatening intervention which is great for students to explore emotional regulation, anger management, reflective practice and self care.
What to do?
1.Encourage students to explore each of the 24 realistic scenarios on each page and reflect on how that scenario would make them feel. This also encourages empathy, compassion and consideration into the feelings and actions of others as they resonate with each scenario.
2.The next step is for the students to explore the “Anger Management Strategy Ingredients” list and tick what anger management strategy they could or would employ and use for that particular scenario. This helps students to reflect, explore and gain insight into their own feelings and behaviours.
3.Students then put those ingredients into the “blender” which is located on each page to cement the lesson. There are 24 visuals for already developed anger management strategies which students can utilize. There are an addition 12 blank visual cards for students to explore some of their own individual and unique self-care strategies that work for them.
4.Lastly, students can create a name for that particular anger management smoothie. This heightens the learning outcomes and students become more likely to explore and employ these anger management strategies within their everyday life.
NOTE – There is a COMPLETED example page so students can see this resource in action!
This Bingo game is a great game to familiarize students with American Sign Language (ASL). This is a great game for a whole class approach or center activities to reinforce learning.
This bingo game includes A-Z.
The caller reads the bingo card, and the players identify whether they have that ASL card on their BINGO mat. If they do, then they cross it off and the first to cross off 16 ASL visuals on their unique mat first wins the game!
There are over 40 different Bingo mats for larger.
Let’s make learning fun and engaging!

Many people think of being happy and excited as good emotions and anger and sadness as being bad ones. Because of this, many people spend years trying to repress, block or avoid these emotions. But it is important to know that all emotions are normal. Three are no good or bad feelings or emotions. They are messages.
This activity encourages emotional awareness by encouraging individuals to reflect and gain insight into their various emotional states.

This lesson helps students personify and project their grief onto their own monster that they create with the therapeutic aim to reflect and gain insight. This intervention asks students to create a representation of grief and give it a name. By externalizing grief, it becomes something that they can deal with and manage. It is no longer an abstract idea that they have no control over. It becomes manageable.
Everyone grieves differently and experiences different emotional reactions. Some may not want to discuss while others may want to share memories of their loved one. Therefore, it is important to allow every individual to express themselves as much as they feel comfortable doing so. This activity supports the individual to do this.
This therapeutic intervention requires the therapist to be very curious and unconditionally accepting of the Grief Monster that the student creates and imagines. Remember the vital role of empathy and at the end of the intervention sincerely thank the student for sharing what their grief looks like as a monster to support integration. Further discussion ideas for integration might include exploration of the themes and trends that arise during this intervention.
This resource includes:

This creative and printable board game has been developed to provide a foundation which explores a vital executive functioning skill - self-control and impulse control.
“Let’s Pause” is a growth mindset board game which is great for students who may struggle to think before they act, who present with difficulties associated with ADHD or students who could benefit from considering the consequences of their actions.
Using the analogy of a “remote control” students are asked to reflect on their behaviour and the impact when they can
-“pause and stop” and think about their behaviour
-“fast forward” where impulses take over
-“play” when you can just keep going
-“rewind” when they can take a step back after our impulses have got the better of us and think about the consequences.
This game encourages reflection and psycho-education around impulse control, self-control, emotional regulation and anger management.
There are over 115 reflective question cards with 23 cards in each of the five various color-coded areas. These include:
- Reflect – practical and relatable scenarios to help put learning into practice
- Let’s Pause – reflecting on impulse control and its impact
- Better Choices – exploring emotional regulation, coping strategies and strategies
- Let’s Chat – conversation starters to build rapport
- Anger – exploring anger management
This is a great game which is a perfect supplement for our Impulse Control “Let’s Pause Mini-Lesson”

This lesson helps students personify and project their grief onto their own monster that they create with the therapeutic aim to reflect and gain insight. This intervention asks students to create a representation of grief and give it a name. By externalizing grief, it becomes something that they can deal with and manage. It is no longer an abstract idea that they have no control over. It becomes manageable.
Everyone grieves differently and experiences different emotional reactions. Some may not want to discuss while others may want to share memories of their loved one. Therefore, it is important to allow every individual to express themselves as much as they feel comfortable doing so. This activity supports the individual to do this.
This therapeutic intervention requires the therapist to be very curious and unconditionally accepting of the Grief Monster that the student creates and imagines. Remember the vital role of empathy and at the end of the intervention sincerely thank the student for sharing what their grief looks like as a monster to support integration. Further discussion ideas for integration might include exploration of the themes and trends that arise during this intervention.
