Monthly Motivating Classroom Guidance Lessons

Monthly Motivating Classroom Guidance Lessons offer educators an opportunity to present innovative and interactive activities for each season and popular holidays. Each activity can be completed in one class period, requires few materials, and emphasizes an educational/counseling topic. Three lessons are provided for each month giving the facilitator an activity for Grades K-1, 2-3, and 4-5.

Leaders will enjoy teaching the lessons and students will enjoy:

learning about being organized as they complete a School Backpack Helper Plan

learning ways to resolve conflicts by participating in Trick or Treat

improving their listening skills by playing Bunny Hop

practicing anger-management skills by completing the “Puzzling” Valentines activity sheet

improving their testing skills as they participate in the Brain Power

August/September: Study Skills & Beginning of the School Year
