Sharing & Taking Turns - Counseling SEL Lesson, Early Elementary Problem Solving

Easy grab-and-go counseling lesson for sharing and taking turns in kindergarten and first grade. Includes ASCA lesson plan, worksheet, optional book list, and powerpoint. Lesson involves discussion, skills practice, an activity, and examples to practice.

This lesson is super simple - just put on the powerpoint and work through the easy discussion questions. Very low prep for all you super busy counselors out there!
