Are your students constantly coming to you with 'problems' that don't quite match their over-the-top reactions? Whether it's an empty drink bottle, a broken pencil or an untied shoelace, young children often have trouble discerning the difference between 'big problems' and 'small problems'. Use this fantastic whole-class sorting activity to springboard conversations about what problems warrant a big or small reaction, using examples such as 'Not picked to answer a question' and 'Snake in the school'.

Included in this resource are 12 colour examples of big and small problems and 2 landscape sorting sheets, featuring characters Pevan & Sarah. Perfect for a Social/Emotional lesson or a lesson on 'Catastrophe Scales'. Print them in A3 and display them in the class to refer to all year!

This resource also pairs perfectly with Pevan & Sarah's new music video, 'What Size is Your Problem?' (see video preview!). Sign up to Cub Club to access the video, along with this resource and hundreds of other educational videos, songs and printables, made for teachers, by teachers.
