Help children explore expected and unexpected behavior choices with this Thanksgiving social skills game. This digital and printable SEL activity includes 30 scenarios for discussing social expectations, considering choices, and practicing self-awareness, self-management, and responsible decision-making.

Use the self-correcting Google Slides game for shared practice on a smartboard or during counseling, or play the printable board game with its play money, dice, pawns, and spinner. Sorting mats and individual flip cards give children additional ways to respond and explain their thinking.
