    It’s

    THINK OUTSIDE
    THE BOX
    THURSDAY!!

    Complete the picture below.


    It is not what you think!

    Created by SELebrate YOU


    My THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX THURSDAY is a
    flexible thinking activity that is so fun and engaging!
    Your kids will be begging to do it all the time!!

    While thinking outside the box, kids gain so much from this
    activity. They strengthen their flexible thinking skills,
    imagine possibilities, learn to see and understand
    different perspectives, appreciate the work of others, and
    celebrate their uniqueness. All of the above foster a
    child’s social emotional learning.

    Look at all the ways you can use this Think Outside the
    Box activity with your kids!

    • You can do it during Morning Meeting


    • You can do it as a bell ringer
    • You can do it as a brain break.
    • You can incorporate it into your Writer’s Workshop
    • You can build off their creations with a language arts
    lesson.
    • You can use it as a mindfulness activity
    • You can send it home and help families support social
    emotional learning at home
    Directions for Intoducing
    Think Outside the Box Thursday
    into your classroom for the first time

    To support social emotional learning, begin with a read


    aloud. I used A Book of Mistakes by Corinna Luyken and
    My Day Is Ruined by Bryan Smith
    We discuss how the activity is going to help kids
    strengthen their flexible thinking skills, in addition to
    teaching them to understand different perspectives.
    Place or project the activity page on the board. (Have
    copies of the shape sheet ready to pass out)
    Introduce the day’s shape
    Give kids a minute or two to reflect on the shape
    Pass out the shape sheets
    Let the kids get lost in the activity!
    Give them 5-10 minutes to complete
    Collect their creations
    You decide when and how you want to share everyone’s
    work. They love this part just as much as the activity
    itself! You can share it whole group, have each child
    share, do a gallery walk or put the drawings in a free
    write station
