Other Educators Like You Said:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brittany M. says, “Used this to lead a kindness discussion in my third grade class. Students could understand and form great discussions around this concept.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rebekah S. says, “I used this resource in two lunch bunch small groups for students in 2nd and 3rd grade. Students loved playing this game – we took turns in a circle picking a card and answering the question. I appreciated that the cards showed diverse students, had un-traditional names, and had a wide range of stories/questions. I did go through and remove some depending on group topic and age of students – there is a TON of cards regardless. Print them out and laminate them – easy to clean and they stay in good condition.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jill T. says, “Our school teaches the 7 Habits and I was doing a rotation of seek first to understand. The students were in teams of 4 to read and discuss these. I heard amazing comments coming from all around the room. We then shared the ones that promoted the best discussions in their opinion. It was great!”
