This #tbt is a little bit of a cheat because it only throws back to about 6 months ago. I have been working really hard on updating my products over on TPT and my Caterpillar Character Cards are the best example of this!

Here's the original post:
One of the most challenging things about working with kids is getting them to talk. I mean really talk. Like, not about minecraft. Kids aren't usually used to being self-reflective and that can make a counselor's job challenging. To help, I made an activity I call "character cards." I used 36 character words like "afraid" or "lonely." I then ask the student to sort them into three categories: like me, kind of like me, and not like me. This opens up a lot of discussion both during the sorting process and after. Because the character cards include both positive and negative traits, we can really see what a child thinks of themselves. It's a great activity and one I come back to again and again.
Now to share what the cards look like now!
I'm super proud of all the updates going on over there at Teachers Pay Teachers. It's so much fun to spend the extra time on making the products really great. Here are some other updates (click on the picture for the link):
