Good vs Poor Choices Sorting Activity for Classroom Behavior Expectations

Sunday, August 4, 2019

Teacher friend, let's be honest: little ones learn rules best when they can see them. This sorting activity turns classroom expectations into pictures your students sort themselves, and the cards stay up all year as a reminder.

What is in it

  • 2 title posters: Good Choices and Poor Choices
  • 12 good choice picture cards
  • 12 poor choice picture cards
  • Every page in color and black and white
  • 28 pages, printable PDF

Why "poor" choices

"Poor" is a gentler word than "bad" for little learners. It keeps the talk about the choice, not the child.

How to use it

Sort the cards together on the first week of school, after winter break or any time your class needs a reset. Then hang them in a pocket chart, on an anchor chart or as a mini bulletin board you can point back to. Every card is a picture, so even non-readers can join in. See the cards in the Good vs Poor Choices Sort preview on TPT.

What teachers are saying

It holds 4.9 stars from 58 ratings.

"The pictures are perfect for my Pre-K students since they don't read yet. Very easily understood as a visual for understanding good and bad choices."

"Great to pair with a read aloud, would highly recommend!"
