Classrooms are an ideal place to model and practice social and emotional (SEL) skills, and educational games are a perfect match for SEL. Learning games allow students to inhabit worlds and points-of-view and test out approaches to life in a safe environment where taking risks is encouraged.
The 27 SEL paid/free apps and games on this list will help students expand their worldviews, understand the needs of others, identify and reflect on their own feelings, and gain a more rounded view of themselves. Some are quick experiences focused on particular struggles or skills, while others are more in-depth and aimed at broader coverage of SEL competencies.
Huge collection of graphics, videos, and links for supporting a growth mindset!
In the 21CC project the students will put together a trunk full of artifacts or ‘keepsakes’ from the perspective anyone who would have lived through the 1920s and 30s. The truck has to demonstrate the change the occurred over that 20 year span. The artifacts must be tangible (not only a picture of an artifact but a picture could be an artifact); could be original or replica (made by them). It follows the 6 phases of creativity with a student project guide and an artifact presentation rubric.

Project Zero at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education has created a collection of Core Thinking Routines as part of their Visible Thinking Project. Teachers can view the entire collection on the Project Zero website (https://pz.harvard.edu/thinking-routines#CoreThinkingRoutines), where each routine is described in detail (e.g., purpose, application, launch) in both English and Spanish.
These routines encourage students to be intentional thinkers.
What do they know or notice?
What is their perspective or position on an issue or idea?
How can they support their position or thinking?
What do they wonder? What are they confused about?
How has their thinking changed? What caused that change?
