My students loved the Golden Rule activities. We also read “Do Unto Otters” and it went along great with the book. We not only used them during the first week of school but throughout the entire year. The Golden Rule became our class motto!
Thank you ?

Thank you for this! This helped me kids think of different scenarios for when to apply the golden rule and see that it is something that can be applied in all contexts! They were engaged when sharing with their peers about it!

I am so excited to use this resource this year. I loved the simplicity of how it is organized. I am retiring this year and I am looking forward to the way Tanya has tied in bullying, Mindset, and our own habits with reading and writing skills. Student relationships with others is so important and this resource checks all the boxes!

I originally purchased this to work with a small counseling group that had to work on honesty and theft, but I have since used it with most of the small groups I work with. It has been a very useful resource.
