Instructor Procedures
NOTE: The counselor will cut up the game cards from the game sheet before the lesson starts.
1. Counselor shares with the students that they are going to play the 2nd Grade Expectations game.
2. Before the game starts, the counselor will draw the following graphic organized chart. On the chart paper they will write in the middle 2nd Grade Expectations. Divide the lists into two sides (appropriate behavior and inappropriate behavior):
3. Game Directions: Individual students will be selected to draw a game card and read it out loud. A second student is selected to determine if the statement is an appropriate or inappropriate expectation for a 2nd grader in school. They then tape the card under the correct column on the chart paper.
4. After all cards are drawn the counselor will review the behaviors, which were appropriate and or inappropriate with the students.
5. After the game and discussion the counselor shares with students that they will keep the chart for the next lesson. During the next session they will continue to discuss the expectations for 2nd graders in school.
