How to use these making good choices worksheets

Grade fit
These making good choices scenarios are short, and the settings come from students’ own week, so the worksheets fit Grades 2–5. Younger students can do them aloud as a class, and older students can write fuller reasons.
Digital version
The interactive digital version shares as one link: students pick A, B or C and type their reason, or just pick if you choose the choices-only format, on any device with no student logins. At the end they download an answer sheet to hand in.
