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 small-group or independent sorting activity to springboard conversations about what problems warrant a big or small reaction, using examples such as 'You came last in a game' and 'Fire in the school'.

Included in this resource are 12 cut-and-paste 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' and - bonus - great for fine motor skills as kids are cutting, pasting and colouring in to decorate their work.

This resource 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 printable resource and many others.

If you find this resource useful, we would LOVE it if you could leave a review and tell us what you thought.
