Description

Growth Mindset Bell Ringer Warm Ups for Kindergarten and 1st Grade with Digital Option in SEESAW:

These growth mindset warm up activities are perfect for teachers who are looking for easy-to-use, information-packed, daily growth mindset instruction in the form of warm-ups, bell ringers, or station activities.

These 200 activities, which span across 40 weeks, will give you everything you need to teach your KINDERGARTEN OR 1ST GRADE classroom about all things growth mindset! Please look at the thumbnails and preview to assess the appropriateness for your class.

NOTE: This pack of activities may be TOO DIFFICULT for Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year! I advise Kindergarten teachers to wait for a couple of months to begin OR be prepared to do the activities as a group (or provide extra support). Some warm-up activities will be quick, but others will require discussions and extra time to complete.

Please note that 40 TOPICS come with affirmation posters. You will also find over 40 vocabulary cards to support the new growth mindset verbiage your students will learn. I advise teachers to display the vocabulary as it is introduced (on a bulletin board or whiteboard).

INSTRUCTION WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH WEEK TO INTRODUCE NEW VOCABULARY AND CONCEPTS. Be prepared to support students each day during the warm-up as well.

The following topics are covered, week by week, in this full-year growth mindset instructional package:

  1. I Have a Growth Mindset!
  2. I Love My Brain!
  3. My Brain is Like a Muscle!
  4. The Harder I Work, the Smarter I Get!
  5. My Effort is the Most Important!
  6. I Can Do Hard Things!
  7. I Have Grit!
  8. I Know How to Ask for Help!
  9. It’s Okay for Me to Make Mistakes!
  10. I Believe in the Power of Yet!
  11. I Listen to Feedback!
  12. I am Not Afraid of Tricky Tasks!
  13. When I Struggle, I Grow!
  14. I Have Many Strengths!
  15. I Can Train My Brain!
  16. I am Kind to Myself!
  17. I Can Create a Productive Work Space!
  18. I Can Help Myself Focus!
  19. I Control the Choices I Make!
  20. I Can Take Risks!
  21. I Know How to Set Goals!
  22. I Can Always Learn More!
  23. My Mistakes Make Me Better!
  24. I Don’t Have to Be Perfect!
  25. I am Happy When Others Do Well!
  26. I Don’t Stop Until I’m Proud!
  27. My Passions are Important!

This product also includes 40 posters for a bulletin board that explains each topic above (a black-and-white copy of these posters is also included).

A pre-assessment and a post-assessment are also included and sample answers (teacher notes) for each week.

You will also find vocabulary cards to support your student’s new learning.

This daily growth mindset activity product is for YOU if you struggle to squeeze in growth mindset instruction or don’t know how to teach it. Your students will get be instructed in EVERY AREA of growth mindset with the topics covered!

Please look at this product’s activities to determine how and when to utilize them in your class. Some students or groups can use them as a warm-up, bell ringer, or independent station activity. Other students or groups of students may need more support.

The scaled questions with emojis on many of the Thursday exercises are designed for students to reflect on how they feel about the given topic. Students can share their thoughts with a partner, small group, or the entire class. There are no incorrect answers for these exercises.

At the very end of this product, you will find an OPTIONAL cover page and Table of Contents that you can use IF YOU CHOOSE TO BIND all the activities together for each student at the beginning of the year (or the beginning of the instruction). REMEMBER THAT FRIDAY ACTIVITIES SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN BOUND JOURNALS because many of them require cutting and pasting.

This file contains 259 PDF pages + SEESAW slides.

  40. Mrs Stacey 

    I really like this bundle. The only thing is that I thought there were actual lessons for me to teach. If there are, I couldn’t find them. There are activity sheets, posters, vocabulary. The description states, “This daily growth mindset activity product is for YOU if you struggle to squeeze in growth mindset instruction or just don’t know how to go about teaching it. Your students will get instruction in EVERY AREA of growth mindset with the topics covered!” I took that to mean that it would show me HOW to teach the concepts.

  81. Jennifer M

    I have been using this resource in my classroom for a few months now and the students have really responded well. It has opened the lines of communication and brought out some feelings I was not even aware some students had. I put up a mirror decorated as a flower and have the students say the self affirmation in the mirror.

  106. In the Shade 

    Absolutely exceptional and worth every penny! I never thought first graders could TRULY grasp what “growth and fixed” mindset are, but this unit SUCCESSFULLY paints the picture of what a growth/fixed mindset is. They are applying what they are learning in this unit to their academics, friendships, etc. Thank you for creating such a spectacular and beneficial resource.

    Great to use in class or as additional activities in growth mindset group.

  117. Beth Pestka 

    Thank you, nice resource.

  118. SLP Creations 

    I used this resource each morning as the students’ morning work. We discussed each day prior to the kids completing it. It was very easy to prep and use. The only problem we had, and we worked around it, was that there is a lot of writing and not all of the kids were able to do this independently. This is a fantastic resource to support Growth Mindset!

  119. Jennfier G

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

  120. Laughter With Literacy 

    Super clear and easy to use. Great resource! Thank you!

  121. Stephanie S

    Great product

  122. rex G

    nice

  123. Christine P

    This was quick and engaging. The format made it easy for students to know what to do each week and I liked the flow.

  124. Cyndie Wiesen 

    The kids do the daily activities each morning before we start the day. It is a great way for us to start the day. The kids love them and it gives me a chance to talk about how even though things might be hard, that is when we get smarter and should not quit. Thanks for a great product!

  125. Rebekah Rau 

    Absolutely amazing resource! Easy prep and reinforces the concepts behind growth mindset. I love love love this resource. Can’t say enough positive about it.

    The only suggestion I have that would make it nicer is just a layout issue. I printed these out and made a little workbook for each student. It would have been very helpful if the pages that were meant to be cut/pasted were single-sided. In order to make my booklets, I printed out the entire thing, then had to go through each page and make sure it wasn’t one they had to cut. On those pages, I had to re-copy them single-sided, so that when the student cut, they didn’t mess up the lesson on the other side. Not a huge deal, but would save a lot of time if the cut/paste pages were single sided only.Show more

  126. Jennifer G

    I love this resource so much. It is so important to me to start our day with this discussion. Fabulous and easy to use.

  127. Tracy F

    I LOVE this resource!!!!!!! The kids really respond to the activities and we supplement with videos and books each morning. The kids make so many connections during the day with what we are learning about Growth Mindset. I am pleased it covers so many topics and lasts all year. Thank you!!!

  128. Ashley H

    My students love this! It covers so many skills in one activity.

  129. Annette B

    Quick activity that sparks great discussion!

  130. KlassWork 

    My newest addition to the classroom and my students are loving it!

  131. Lisa K

    My students work on this as a class before we begin our morning. We discuss how trying to complete this on their own at first was very difficult at first. Now they are able to read and help each other with words if needed. Thank you for this great product.

  132. Alyssa B

    Love this resource for teaching young students growth mindset terms and definitions!

  133. Leandra S

    I really like this resource and was happy to be able to use it with distance learners this year.

  134. DeeAnna O

    Wonderful resource, thank you!!

  135. Nicole Scott 

    This pack has been fabulous! I only used it for the first 14 weeks of the program (started later in the year than planned) but it has been well responded to. My students talk about growth mindset and uses appropriate vocabulary that we’ve covered in all contexts. Parents have been amazed!

  136. Charlene N

    I tried a two week version of this product for free and LOVED it! It’s very teacher friendly and really helped my students understand and use a growth mindset. I’m so excited for my new students to use it all year long! It will be the perfect start to our mornings.

  137. Natalie Gainer 

    I have enjoyed teaching students from this resource. I have found that the writing is a little too advanced for my first graders at this point. I am hoping in the future they will be able to complete the writing sections.

  138. amanda wetherbee 

    It was a rough start at first getting my students onboard with this resource. But after the 1st week, my students were asking when we were doing it again.

  139. Jaime B

    Love using this to help littles understand their brains!

  140. Cheongna Dalton S

    Great resource!

  141. Nancy L

    I have used this resource with my second graders this year. It is their first introduction to growth mindset and this was perfect for them! Next year I will circle with them as 3rd graders and have purchased the 2-3 grade set to use then. It is really neat to see the students express their thoughts on the topics covered. Highly recommend!

  142. Melanie C

    Such a great resource! My students work on this daily and its had a huge impact on their self talk. Great way to instill some confidence into our ASD students.

  143. Michelle W

    I teach in a day treatment program and this tool has really supported our work engaging learners in shifting their mindset. This was a great add on to what we were already doing. I am excited to start the new school year with this resource.

  145. shelby B

    Love it

  146. Katarina P

  147. Jellyfish Superpowers in the Classroom 

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!! This is a great resource! Thank you!!

  148. Jhoanna M

    We made a big deal about growth mindset and I loved it! It’s so important for kids to discuss these topics on a DAILY basis. And that’s what we did. After lunch, we would get the papers out and kids loved discussing the topic of the week. I loved hearing their thoughts as well. SOOO good!

  149. Stephanie H

    Wow! This resource is first class and one of a kind. It goes over the many facets of growth mindset on a 1st or 2nd grader’s level so that they are able to really comprehend the power of a growth mindset. Kirsten, you have outdone yourself. Thank you for this awesome resource!!!

  150. Emilee L

    I used this with my 3rd graders and it was maybe a little too simple for them, but it was a great way to get them started on their growth mindset journey.

  151. Amanda R

    I really like how questions were open ended and engaging. Really made my students think.

  152. Holly P

    This is one of the top three resources I have purchased on TpT. The kids think and use the vocabulary daily. And cheer themselves and their classmates on saying things like “You have grit!” and “You can do hard things. Your brain is growing.” I highly recommend this!
