Social-Emotional Learning Activities: Self-Regulation and Self-Care Activities for Kids
Self-care activities for kids has never been more important! This social-emotional activities bundle includes THREE corners to help your students with self-regulation, self-esteem, and relationship building.
You will find a conflict resolution corner, 2 choices for a calm down corner (one file includes people clip art and the other file includes dot dudes clip art), and a self-care corner.
***NOTE: THIS BUNDLE IS MORE DISCOUNTED BECAUSE YOU WILL LIKELY ONLY USE ONE OF THE TWO COOL DOWN CORNERS.
The descriptions are as follows:
CONFLICT RESOLUTION CORNER:
This conflict resolution corner outlines STEP-BY-STEP instructions for helping students solve conflicts with each another. You’ll find that it looks like a flowchart when it’s displayed in your classroom.
Don’t have a corner or bulletin board space? That’s okay! You will also find smaller versions of the step-by-step flowchart that students can glue into a notebook.
Are your students learning online? No worries! We’ve got you covered with a digital version in Google Forms. Students will be taken through a series of questions to help them resolve the conflict.
This social-emotional learning file includes the following:
- an image of a sample conflict resolution corner already set up
- letters for the title of the corner (Conflict Resolution Corner…)
- title poster (Identify Conflict: What is my conflict?)
- flowchart questions to determine the next steps for students
- arrows and other images (lightbulbs, yes/no cards) to embellish your conflict resolution corner
- posters with steps to follow when resolving a conflict
- a feelings poster
- conflict resolution tips for students (1 page)
- posters for the following: I-Messages, Listening & Checking for Understanding, Apologizing, and Accepting an Apology
- small versions of every poster/card
- black-and-white versions of every page
This file was created for upper elementary students in 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th grade. Using it with younger kids would require a great deal of support (the vocabulary used in the resource is above a primary level).

This resource helped to guide my students through conflict resolution and to cool down when upset in an independent and more strategic way. The bulletin board that I created with some of these materials was attractive.
