Help students pause and identify how they are feeling with this winter-themed daily check-in. Designed for school counseling and classroom use, the Google Slides activity gives students a visual way to share their feelings and reflect on what may be behind them.

What's included

• A winter-themed check-in slide with a calendar-style tracker and illustrated feeling choices, including sad, shy, and proud.
• A prompt encouraging students to check in each day with someone who cares about them.
• A reflection slide with the sentence starter “I feel this way because...” and space to add a response.
• A feelings message emphasizing that both pleasant and unpleasant feelings are normal, and that how we respond to feelings matters.

Skills and use

Use the slides for a brief daily check-in, a school counseling conversation, or a classroom social-emotional learning routine. Students can identify and communicate feelings, reflect on possible reasons for them, and connect with a caring adult. The visual winter illustrations make the check-in approachable while leaving room for students to express their own experience.
