Are your students struggling with decision-making? Using the "Things I Like" Choice Board can help!

 

Ideas for Using the "Things I Like" Choice Board:

  1. Conversation Starters: Begin class by having students choose one item from the board. Invite them to share why they like it, a memory connected to it, or what makes it special. This activity encourages communication, self-expression, and confidence.
  2. Getting to Know Each Other: Have a student select something from the choice board, then ask classmates if they also enjoy that item. Students can discover shared interests, build connections, and practice social interaction in a structured way.
  3. Storytelling and Creative Writing: Use the choice board as inspiration for storytelling. Students can select one or more favorite things from the board and create a story that includes them. This activity promotes imagination, language development, and creative thinking.
  4. Preference and Choice-Making Practice: Encourage students to choose their favorite item from the board and explain their reasoning. Comparing preferences helps students practice decision-making, expressing opinions, and respecting different perspectives.

Whether used for icebreakers, discussion activities, writing prompts, or choice-making practice, this tool empowers students to share their interests and learn more about one another.
