How it works
Each menu has nine small resets in three “courses”: quick ones, ones that take a bit longer, and the familiar things that help. Menu I leans creative, Menu II active and Menu III practical, but none of them says so, so you can hand a student the one you think will suit them without making a thing of it.
Low energy, overwhelmed, or just having a hard morning, however small the sign.
Any of the three menus works the same way, so there is no wrong one to reach for, and no correct choice within it.
There is no need to check back afterwards, though you are there if they want to talk.
Get the activity
Print a small stack of each in advance. They work best when a student keeps theirs in a pencil case or planner, rather than being handed a fresh one each time. Pairs well with the Mood Scale.
