Instructional Ideas

• While most of the worksheets are based in writing/discussion exercises, they can also be adapted to more hands-on activities. For example, in worksheet E-10, consider constructing a similar swirl on your classroom floor with painter's tape, and having pupils physically walk on top of the swirl to list their activities of happiness

Classroom Considerations

• Given the complexity and depth of this subject, you may want to collaborate with a school counselor on how to approach and discuss topics such as depression or anger management

Pros

• Each lesson/activity is accompanied by an Instructor's Guide (includes lesson objective, discussion questions, special considerations, and answer key)
• Nice variety of worksheets and activities to choose from

Cons

• None
