Responsible Decision-Making Coloring Pages — Affirmations and Quotes

About this resource

Good decisions come from thinking clearly about options, consequences and values. These responsible decision-making coloring pages help Grades 2–8 make that thinking a habit. The set is built around the Responsible Decision-Making competency, with messages on thinking before acting, weighing options and learning from mistakes. They work as SEL coloring pages and as affirmation coloring pages, with responsible decision-making at the center.

• Quotes: “A pause is powerful.” “Think it through, then follow through.”
• The reflection page asks “What helps you pause, reflect, or ask for help when needed?” A choice board task asks students to “Draw a “decision pause button” to remind yourself to think before you act.”
