Talk It Out - I Statements - Counseling SEL Lesson, K-1 Conflict Resolution

Easy grab-and-go counseling lesson to teach kids how to use a simple sentence frame for talking out problems: “I don’t like when you _______________. Can you please ____________.” Includes ASCA lesson plan, worksheet, optional book list, and google slides. Lesson involves discussion, skills practice, an activity, and examples to practice.

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