Bring creativity and social-emotional learning together with this Fall SEL Directed Drawing Set 3! This interactive Answer It, See It, Draw It activity combines fall-themed guided drawing with meaningful discussions about CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), coping skills, growth mindset, and social-emotional learning.

Students answer SEL questions to unlock each step of three autumn-inspired drawings: an owl, a maple leaf, and a pumpkin. With 18 discussion prompts across the three drawings, students explore helpful and unhelpful thoughts, flexible thinking, self-awareness, coping strategies, and other important social-emotional skills while creating their own artwork.

The digital Google Slides activities also include pre-teaching slides to help students explore growth mindset, patience, persistence, and being comfortable making mistakes.
