Any Game Counseling Prompts for 26 Different Topics
These low-prep counseling prompts will work with almost any game you already have – I use them almost daily at my school! Each set of prompts is coded by number and color. Roll a 5? Respond to prompt #5! Drew a yellow card? Respond to the yellow prompt! Questions/prompts are worded so that they can be answered multiple times during a game without it being repetitive. These are excellent for individual counseling and small group counseling. Resource also includes colorful game board that can be used with any die and player pieces, as well as suggested games.

Using a school counseling needs assessment is a great way to gather data for effectively guiding your comprehensive school counseling program. These needs assessments are available as an editable PPT to print out (some people prefer hard copy!) and a link to an editable Google Form™ (to be paperless and have speedier data analysis). Versions are included for faculty, parents, and students (lower elementary version and upper elementary options). Faculty needs assessment covers rating need/importance of various school counseling services, small group needs, classroom lesson needs, and other faculty thoughts/ideas. Caregiver needs assessment covers the same minus the small group needs. Student needs assessments cover only classroom lesson needs. Basic knowledge of Google Forms needed for editing digital format and back knowledge of using text boxes in PowerPoint (typing in and moving around) needed for editing printable version.

What others are saying...
“I am a new resource person at my school for SEL. I loved the posters which I printed large for my bulletin boards. The problems and feelings scale is great for my kiddos working on anxiety issues. I have big plans for that. I also love the Any Game questions. We have played them using the included gameboard, Jenga and Candy Land. I have found “Today’s Agenda” very helpful as well. I haven’t quite been in this job a month so I’m sure I will find great use for some of the other files I haven’t gotten to yet. Thank you so much. This was definitely worth the price.”
“I’ve been a counselor for a few years but loved everything that was in this bundle. Super efficient and organized. Love it!”
“This really helped me start off the year on the right foot. We’ve all been told this is a self-starting job and it truly is. I’ve used this to help ground myself and organize what I need to do to create a plan for the whole year. The curriculum maps are great and I love how they link to other tpt products if needed.”
