Maybe by Kobi Yamada Activities: This is a new picture book by the same author as What Do You Do with a Chance, What Do You Do with an Idea, and What Do You Do with a Problem? This file includes activities for this beautiful new picture book!
This growth mindset literature unit for Maybe by Kobi Yamada was created for 2nd-4th grade. This new picture book works perfectly in conjunction with What Do You Do With an Idea? What Do You Do With a Chance?, and What Do You Do With a Problem?.
The Maybe by Kobi Yamada activities in this literature companion focus more on the story’s concepts than on the content (though they include vocabulary).

- vocabulary matching page (and answer key)
- “What do you have to offer?” worksheet
- “Maybe, Just Maybe” worksheet
- Figurative language practice: Idioms (with answer key)

- writing activity (choose someone who has changed the world)
- growth mindset connections
- Journal Entry: I am an inventor…
- Two coloring pages with quotes
- four quotes posters (smaller versions also included)

I hope this product helps your students understand their worth in the world. These activities are also perfect for teachers or counselors who are helping students develop a growth mindset.

I loved reading the story Maybe to students as they returned to school this year – I had them come up with their own ideas using this craft and some students hung them up at their lockers for the entire school year. I loved it!
