Do you have students that struggle with behaviors, such as aggression, verbal outbursts, poor emotional regulation, poor work habits, poor social skills, etc.? Turn your regular UNO game into a behavior-focused counseling game by having students learn and discuss behavioral expectations in school. This game will help you facilitate discussions with your students in your counseling session about "Expected vs. Unexpected" behaviors at school while playing the fun game of UNO. Playing regular UNO is good, as students work on social skills, such as turn taking, following game rules, and sportsmanship. However, incorporating learning about school behaviors into the game is AWSOME! To play: First, you can show the Included link to a great YouTube Video about "Expected vs. Unexpected Behaviors." (Or you can use your own favorite video on the topic as part of the lesson, or show the week prior to doing this activity). Then, play the game of UNO… When a card is put down, ask the student the corresponding prompt for their card. If the card’s question has already been played, continue with the game until someone wins! Prompting card examples: Is it expected or unexpected to laugh at someone who is crying? What are the expected behaviors to have during an assembly? Is it expected to shout out an answer before being called on by your teacher? If your students are young or struggle with playing the actual game, you can just have them pick from the deck at random to answer their questions. Whatever they will find fun and not frustrating. It’s all about learning!
