Reviews

Educational resource teaching empathy and perspective-taking through holiday-themed activities. Customers said it's "so engaging" and keeps students involved with elf stories and coloring. Works well for various grade levels and group activities. One customer found graphics unappealing and story too short, suggesting better suitability for upper grades.

Students were so involved. They enjoyed the stories of the elves and creating their own elf.
My students loved this activity. It got them thinking about perspectives and communicating.
This activity has great content with a Christmas theme!

So engaging during the holidays!

I used this resource with many grade levels for an SEL lesson near the holidays. Students were so involved. They enjoyed the stories of the elves, as well as creating their own elf and coloring them afterwards. It was a very fun themed out way to teach the kids to take the perspective of others and think about how someone else may be feeling in given situations. Highly recommend. Will use again and again!

great themed resource

I have the students work in small groups to complete these. It's the perfect lesson for right before the holidays. It keeps them engaged and learning!

Great story and examples

this was great for a daily SEL lesson around the holidays

We talk a lot about empathy and putting yourself in someone else's shoes. This activity has great content with a Christmas theme!

used this during our SEL time during the week before christmas break

This was a great resource for my students. They really enjoyed it!

Great lesson to help students learn about perspective taking and empathy.

This has been a great way to help my students understand empathy.

Disappointed with the graphics..the elves are creepy looking. Story that was referred to in the lesson was super short and not a book or printable students could view. I will not be using this with my students.

This resource was a great addition to my program...thank you for sharing!

I love this resource, it is easy to navigate and use!

Fun activity to use for the holidays to reinforce empathy

Students had fun with this lesson! They loved the elves too :)

My class adored this activity!

Great product that kept my students engaged and interested to learn about empathy.

Going virtual, it is often a struggle to keep students engaged. This interactive and holiday themed lesson was just what I needed. It helped keep my students interested and answering questions.
