Choose Green! is a behavior and social emotional learning resource for preschool, Pre-K and kindergarten. It sorts everyday behaviors into green choices, which are positive, and red choices, then helps children practice replacing a challenging behavior with a better one.
The card set is the heart of it: 30 green choice cards and 24 red choice cards, each with a picture, a word and a symbol so non-readers can use them. They come as large display cards for a classroom wall, small sorting cards for centers and choice necklace cards. Green Choices and Red Choices poster headers organize a display.
Teaching tools help you introduce each choice on purpose. A How to Teach a Choice guide and The Green Choice Song support circle time, and 16 What Would You Do? scenario cards give children a chance to talk through real situations before they happen.
Two levels make it work across a mixed early childhood class. Level 1 uses a picture-based sort and asks children to draw the green choice. Level 2 uses a word-based sort and asks them to draw and write the better choice. An I Can Make Green Choices emergent reader adds a simple reading connection.
To connect school and home, there are sticker charts, a weekly home-school tracker, positive notes home, a family letter and Green Choice Champion awards. A 4-week behavior study plan, teacher notes and an answer key with suggested green choices are included in the 40-page black and white PDF.
