Social-Emotional Learning Kit
Their future is our future
We believe it is our duty to make sure that children grow to be happy and perfectly functioning adults. With the SEL Kit, students will learn how to deal with difficult situations, function better in family, school, and society as a whole. They are also going to learn how to deal with aggression, stress, and negative emotions and understand the importance of teamwork, self-discipline, and mutual respect.
What does a typical lesson look like?
The kit focuses on working with children aged 6-11. The box contains a robot, accessories and a set of 50 lesson scenarios. Each activity described in the scenarios can be easily adapted and used many times with the same group of students. The accessories, such as educational mats, make the activities more exciting, while the colourful drawings stimulate students’ imaginations. The kit also includes an educational cube, name sticks and five sets of flashcards. Fully structured activities, full of stimulation and colour, keep children fully engaged and enthusiastic in the classroom.
Practical activities that help develop emotional and social skills
The kit contains 50 lesson scenarios with activities developed by a team of world-leading experts. They are presented in a standardized yet flexible format so that teachers are free to adapt them to suit their needs and classes. Each activity described in the scenarios can be easily adapted and used several times with the same group of students. In this way, teachers can incorporate them into their daily routines or make them the subject of a separate lesson. The activities can easily be adapted to events or celebrations currently taking place in the community.
All activities in the Kit are based on the leading
Social-Emotional Learning methodology developed by CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning).
Self-awareness
Self-management
Social and Relationship Skills
Social Awareness
Decision-making Skills
The methodology helps students develop skills to manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in challenging situations, set goals, manage stress, and improve communication and problem-solving skills. It also aims to teach empathy and understanding of different perspectives and to show respect, concern, and compassion for others, including those who are weak, sick, or have disabilities.
Sample activity: Emotions As Weather
The children sit in a circle. The teacher starts the game by placing flash cards representing different emotions on the activity mat. Then the teacher asks each child to indicate which flashcard best reflects their mood today. In response, the children direct the robot to the square representing the emotion of their choice. When the robot reaches the desired destination, each child selects the color of the robot’s ears and eyes and a sound to represent their mood. They then describe how they feel.
