If I Had a Hundred Dollars

... I would buy me a- OK I'll stop singing now.  I am always being asked what counseling materials I cannot live without. I thought it'd be fun to do a series listing what I would buy with different budget amounts. I am assuming that you are starting with an office with your basic materials including chairs, tables, art supplies, and all the other things you find readily in schools.

So, without further ado, If I had $100, I would buy:

Small Ooze Tube - $8

I leave this on my table at all times. It's a great conversation starter, fiddle toy, and even works as a timer. The kids are absolutely obsessed!

Legos- $30

I use legos for rewards, during individual counseling and as a social skills club. Definitely the number one used toy in my office. If I had nothing else, the kids would still be happy.

Diane Senn: Group Counseling - $28

Hands down the best group counseling book out there. Mine is completely falling apart it gets used so much!

Classroom Guidance Games - $25

Games are so much fun, and these are no exception. You could plan a whole year's worth of lessons using these games. 

Uno- $5

This is great for groups, lunch bunches, and individual counseling. Even kindergarteners can play uno with support. They love it too!

Mechanical Pencils- $3

I like having fun pencils on my group table. The kids are excited to use them and it makes group work more exciting. 

Wow! A hundred bucks goes fast. What would you buy if you had a hundred dollars?
