About this resource

A whole stack of pink towels, and only you know about the red shirt. These decision-making scenario cards offer 60 choices like that one for Grades 2–6, free with a free account (no card needed). They span ten areas of Responsible Decision-Making, from consequences and problem-solving to honesty, online choices, fairness and asking for help.

What students practice

  • Thinking ahead about what each choice could lead to
  • Solving a problem one step at a time
  • Owning their part and telling the truth
  • Making safe, kind choices online
  • Knowing when to ask a grown-up for help

What’s inside

60scenario cards across ten subtopics, six apiece, among them Being a Responsible Digital Citizen and Fairness and Doing What Is Right
120journal pages, two per scenario
  • Every scenario as an open-ended card (“What is a responsible choice here?”) and as a guided card with three questions
  • The full scenario list and a printing guide; 158 pages

A look inside

The Pink Laundry: Dad holds up a pink towel and asks, “How did this happen?” Your brother shrugs, and you’re still holding the empty laundry basket.
The Seven-Day Triala game on Mom’s account offers a trial that turns into a monthly charge by itself.
The Sixth Swingthe coach loses count and tosses you an extra pitch while the next kid waits by the fence.

How to use these decision-making scenario cards

Read The Sixth Swing at morning meeting and ask how an extra turn looks to the kid by the fence
Teach one subtopic at a time in SEL lessons; the digital citizen cards cover a shared photo album, a classmate’s login card and a sign-in tablet
In small groups, use the guided cards as what would you do scenarios that move from what is happening to what to do
Put the Problem-Solving Step by Step cards in a center, from a forgotten bike lock code to a missing tent pole

Grade fit

Choices come up at a scout campout, a book fair cash box and karate class, all inside an elementary student’s world. Younger students can follow the guided questions, and the fairness cards give Grade 6 students real trade-offs to argue over.

Digital version

The printable and digital scenario cards work together: assign the digital version, pick the open-ended or guided format, and students respond on any device with no student logins. At the end they download an answer sheet to hand in.
