About this resource
Description
Little friends run into little problems every day. This problem solving discussion cards activity helps preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade children talk through everyday problems at home and school and practice kind, calm ways to fix them. Each card opens a short conversation about feelings, fairness and good choices.
The pack has nine fold-over discussion cards. The front of each card shows a sweet animal picture and one sentence to read aloud, such as two bear cubs who both want the same red truck. The inside asks a simple question and gives two kind ideas the teacher can use to guide the talk. Children then act out a good choice. A colorful Problem-Solving Steps poster teaches four easy steps, and a kindergarten practice page asks children to listen to six choices and circle a happy face or a sad face. These problem solving cards for kids are perfect for morning meeting, small groups, or a calm-down corner.
What’s Included
- A cover page and a How to Use page with simple steps
- 9 fold-over discussion cards with pictures and talk questions
- A four-step Problem-Solving Steps poster
- A kindergarten practice worksheet
- A card list with sample ideas and a practice answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, talking about a problem in a picture lets children practice before the same problem happens to them. Second, acting out a kind choice builds the words and habits they need to share, take turns and ask for help. Third, the four simple steps give children a plan they can use on their own when feelings run high.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Pick one card each morning and let two children act out a kind solution. Hang the steps poster near the classroom carpet and point to it when a real problem comes up. At home, read a card at dinner and ask everyone to share an idea. Use the problem solving discussion cards activity with the resources below for more practice.
