About this resource
When a friend asks how you feel, “good” is the easy answer. These self-awareness what would you do scenarios ask for more: in 40 moments, students notice a feeling, a body signal, a strength or a thought, then choose one of three action cards and explain it. The complete set is free with a free account (no card needed) and written for Grades 2–5.
What students practice
- Finding the exact word for a pleasant feeling
- Reading body signals that say ready or wait
- Knowing their strengths and what is still hard
- Using kind self-talk in the middle of a hard task
- Finding what a mistake taught them
What’s inside
- Teacher pages with five ways to run the cards; 77 pages
A look inside
Luna Comes Out: your cat strolls out after a thunderstorm, and your dad calls, “Everything okay up there?” Name the Feeling, Cuddle Luna Quietly or Yell Back Fine?
How to use these self-awareness what would you do cards
Grade fit
Scenes run from a roller rink to a block party bake sale, each a short paragraph with three plain questions: a comfortable load for Grades 2–5. Spanning all ten areas, these self-awareness scenarios make a quick tour of the competency and double as decision making activities in any SEL block.
Digital version
The interactive digital version shares as one link: students answer the think questions (or just read them in the quick format), choose an action card and say why, on any device with no student logins. At the end they download an answer sheet to hand in.
Good to know
The confidence scenarios are about sticking with a fact (a math total, a trail map), never an opinion, and nobody in them is teased.
