Looking for something fun to use with drop-in students this winter? This fun, winter-themed, counseling activity pack covers 20 different elementary school counseling topics! The interactive calendar works like a Christmas advent calendar but rather than anticipating Christmas, students will practice social-emotional skills while counting down the days to Winter Break.

There are 20 different counseling activities included in this pack for less than $10!

How to use: When an individual student or small group comes into your office, have them open a day on the calendar to see which fun activity they get to do!

*Every school has a different schedule so you can start the countdown to fit your needs by skipping days or doubling activities on some days. Or, you can simply have students come in and pick a random activity.

This countdown includes all of the winter-themed school counseling games and activities your program could need!

• Anger management
