Description
These coping and resiliency activities are great for individual counseling, group counseling, or guidance SEL lessons with students that become easily dysregulated or have a tough time coping with day-to-day stressors at school. Help your students self-regulate, build resilience, and bounce back instead of going SPLAT!
These activities can be used all together in one longer lesson, or you can split them up and use this resource in 2-3 sessions/lessons with your students.

What others are saying...
“I used this both remotely and in person and it is a great activity. The children were highly engaged and loved the word “splat!” I found a fake egg that “splats” on the floor to accompany the lesson. The problem examples/scenarios are very relevant to my students. Thank you!!”
“What a great resource for growth mindset. My students loved the visuals and the activities along with it. My principal observed this lesson and wants me to do something with the staff using this lesson.”
“Probably one of my most favorite resources on TPT. Students grasp the concept of “bouncing back.” Examples used in social story are very appropriate.”
“I LOVE this resource! Such a great way to help students understand this concept. Also, the materials look great and are easy to print off and use.”
“My students absolutely loved the concept of “Splat or Bounce”. The lesson was engaging and it really helped them grasp the concept.”
“Students LOVED engaging in this lesson. They were able to quickly determine what was a splat vs. a bounce. They even came up with their own examples of splat and bounce. I love hearing them in the hallway encouraging their friends to bounce when they have a small problem!”
“I loved using this resource with my second through fourth graders! It was engaging and I loved that I could use visuals (bouncy ball and a fidget that went splat). The kids really enjoyed it and the language used was easy for staff to pickup and incorporate!”
