Are you on the struggle bus right now like me??? Between COVID, ever-changing mandates, the hop between in-person and virtual, and everything in between, I'm surprised we're not all ripping our hair out!
 
If you need something to save the day, use these mood scales and accompanying prompts to engage your students, build relationships, and have share some laughs and/or debates!
 
This resource comes with 15 mood scale/ratings icebreakers that can be used at the beginning of class, during a brain break, or however you'd like to incorporate them. Great conversation starters! 
 
It also includes accompanying paired videos and/or texts with editable prompts for each one as extended activities. These can be used as journal prompts, morning meeting discussion activities, enrichment activities, or just time-fillers where the kids are still critically thinking and reflecting on relevant and interesting topics.
 
Depending on how you use them, they can fill anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes, and I don't know about you, but some days, I can definitely use that extra breathing time.
