Problem Situation Cards
$25.00
What would you say? What would you do? Help elementary-age children develop the skills they need to navigate everyday challenges with confidence!
The Problem Situation Cards set includes 24 colorful cards, each featuring a relatable problem or challenging social situation that encourages children to stop, think, and decide how to respond. From being left out at the lunch table to navigating friendship conflicts, children practice thinking through real-life challenges in a safe, supportive environment.
Each card asks two simple but powerful questions: “What would you say?” and “What would you do?” These open-ended questions encourage children to consider their choices, explore different solutions, and understand how their words and actions affect others.
Designed for school counselors, teachers, and parents, these versatile cards can be used in classroom guidance lessons, small group counseling, individual counseling sessions, or as meaningful conversation starters around the dinner table.
Designed for elementary-age children in Grades 1–5 (ages 6–11), these cards help children practice essential social-emotional skills through relatable, real-life situations. The open-ended questions and five activity options make it easy for counselors, teachers, and parents to adapt the activities to different ages and developmental levels.
Five Engaging Ways to Use the Cards:
- Stop, Think, and Solve: Practice pausing, considering options, and choosing a positive solution.
- Partner Activity: Work with a partner to discuss the situation and compare possible responses.
- Think Deeper: Explore feelings, perspectives, consequences, and alternative solutions.
- Act It Out: Role-play the situation and practice what to say and do.
- Write About It: Turn the situation into a written response, journal entry, or creative story with a problem and solution.
