Do you know what you should do right now?

give yourself a high five

What should you tell yourself when something is hard?

you got this!

Last week, the teacher said I’d be next line leader, but today she chose someone else. My open mind helps me say...

Oh well. "Can I be the line leader next week, then?"

That's not fair!

To the student chosen, "You're not my friend!"

I'm never going to be chosen for line leader.

We were supposed to be painting our masks in art today, but we have a substitute who has a different plan. My open mind helps me say...

Small problem. We can finish them next week.

I don't like art anyway.

This is not what I want to do! I'm going to rip this paper.

Nooooo!

The book I want has been checked out of the library. The librarian says, "I'm sorry, but we only have one copy and it's not in the library right now." My open mind helps me say...

That's okay. Can you let me know when it's returned?

Well, that's dumb!

I scream, "Oh man, I really wanted that book today!"

I don't like library!

My mom forgot to pack a fork! I have macaroni and cheese for lunch, but no utensil to eat it with. My open mind helps me say....

I'll just ask if I can borrow a fork from the cafeteria.

I'll just throw the macaroni and cheese away.

I just won't eat lunch today, I guess.

I hate my mom!

Being around new people. "Let's join Sam's lunch table today." My open mind helps me say...

Okay. Can you introduce me?

I don't know anyone sitting at that table.

No, they won't like me.

Those aren't my friends.

Doing something differently than you planned. "We should try to build a volcano out of clay, not paper." My open mind helps me say...

I didn't think of that. That's a great idea.

No, clay is too messy.

That's a terrible idea.

But, I wanted to make it out of paper!

Going to a large party that you're not sure if you'll like. "Do you want to come to my birthday party? The whole class is coming!" My open mind helps me say...

If kids from our class are going, sure. It will be fun!

No, I won't know anyone there.

I don't like parties. They are too loud.

Only if you have ice cream cake and not regular cake.

Doing a sport you've never done. Your classmate says, "You should try it." My open mind helps me say...

It looks hard, but I'll give it my best.

No way! I'm not doing that.

I'll fall and hurt myself.

I'm not good at sports. I'll just embarrass myself.

Changing what you have for dinner. Your sibling says, "We should eat Chinese food tonight." My open mind helps me say...

I'll give Chinese food a try. Can we get some fried rice?

Yuck!

No thanks. I'll starve.

If you order Chinese I'll throw it in the garbage.

Playing a new game you've never played before. Friend says, "Let's play this memory game!" My open mind helps me say...

Sure, can you teach how to play?

I'm terrible at this game.

That game is so boring!

No way. I only play games that I know I can win.
