School Counselor — solve it right on the sheet.

What this worksheet teaches.

What the child is learning: Who the school counselor is and how they help, four kind ways to help a friend — and the two unkind ones to catch — plus how to write the word COUNSELOR.

Knowledge to have ready: A school counselor is a feelings helper: the speech bubble means listening and talking, the helping hand means steady support, and their door is open when a day feels too big. Kind friends listen, help, share and are kind — laughing AT someone and ignoring someone are the two tricks to catch.

Why this activity matters: This is the heart sheet of the set: every tile is either a kindness or a trap, and four-year-olds are at exactly the age when friendship habits set. Sorting kind from unkind gives your child the words for the playground, and the draw box names a real person to talk to — a safety net drawn in crayon.

• Feelings vocabulary
• Kind-versus-unkind sorting
• Helper awareness
• Word tracing
• Counting practice
• Trusted-adult drawing

What to say before you start: "This is a school counselor — a helper for feelings and friendships. Trace the name, then connect the school, the speech bubble and the helping hand. Now the six ways to treat a friend: which ones are kind? Two are tricks! Count the conversation cards, and then draw YOUR person to talk to when a day feels big."

What to look for on the sheet: Find the speech bubble and ask what it is full of — words worth listening to. In the grid, read each way aloud and ask your child to make a kind face or a no-thank-you face at each one. Laughing AT someone and ignoring someone get the biggest no faces of all.

Questions to ask along the way: "What does the school counselor do all day?" "Which four ways are kind to a friend?" "What could you say if a friend feels sad?" "Who is YOUR talk-to person — and what would you tell them?"

Helpful hints without giving it away: Kind ways make friends feel bigger; the tricky ones make friends feel small. Ask of each tile: would I like it if someone did this to ME? That one question sorts the whole grid.

Parent tips: Teach the golden test as a daily habit — would I like that done to me? — and let your child hear you use it too. The draw box matters most here: name the real people your child can always talk to, at school and at home, and say it out loud together.

Understanding check: Ask: "Who is the feelings helper at school? Name two kind ways to treat a friend. Which two ways are not kind?" The counselor, two kindnesses, the two tricks = the sheet landed.

Real-life practice: Practise one circled kindness today — listen to a sibling’s whole story, share a snack, help set the table. Then ask your child to name their talk-to people while pointing at the drawing. Safety nets work best when they are spoken out loud.
