Description
Toothy® Task Kits- an original idea from Angie Olson at ©Lucky Little Learners, LLC.
Toothy® task kits are highly engaging activities that allow students to practice skills and answer questions in a fun, motivating way. The answers on the back of the cards make the activity self-paced and self-correcting. Teach the rules for Toothy® once, then simply switch out the topic each week and use the activity all year!
Your students will be able to deepen their knowledge of social and emotional skills and character traits through the use of these SEL & Character Task Cards! There are a total of 30 topic sets with 24 task cards each included in this bundle. All of these are written with first-grade and second-grade students in mind. The answers on the back of the cards allow for these activities to be self-paced and self-correcting.
Answers can be written on a Toothy mat, recording sheet, marker board, or notebook paper. This activity can be done independently, with a partner, small group, or whole group.
What are teachers saying about Toothy®?
“This has made a great impact in my students’ learning. Not only can they review concepts independently, but they are so engaged with the game. I don’t have to reexplain the game for every new concept, they already know how to play. Every time we play, they cheer. Thank you!!” – Holly
“Being in Distance Learning, I’ve mostly used these task cards for whole class practice- showing the card under the doc cam & students can respond on their white board or in the chat. In class I can see these will be a great independent activity as they are self checking so students can get immediate feedback on their practice.” – Krista
“Students are highly engaged with this resource! They love adding teeth to their character. I often give this to classroom assistants to use when pulling small group. It is very helpful in providing differentiated support.” – Anna

HOW TO PLAY:
Each partner gets a Toothy mat and dry erase marker. Students will take turns choosing a card. Each student who is playing the game will solve the problem on their Toothy mat or dry erase board. When all who are playing have answered the question, they compare their answers and then turn the card over to check to see if their answer is correct. Those who have a correct answer get to draw a tooth in Toothy’s mouth on their mat. If the student’s answer is incorrect, they do not draw a tooth and those who got the answer correct must explain how they got to the correct answer. Then the next student draws the next card and the process is repeated. The game is over once all the cards have been answered. The student with the most teeth in Toothy’s mouth is the winner of the game.

Perfect for center or small group work with my SPED classroom. We used this for a daily Social Skill lesson and the students loved it.
Sarah P. –
We, my students and I, love this resource. My students love the TOOTHY games and our classroom focus for this year has been Kindness and Respect for one another. We’ve been through some very trying times as a school and as a community, and so my colleagues and I are working hard to create a caring culture in the school. These cards really helped to make my job a lot easier. I was so grateful to get them at such a deep discount. We used them at our morning devotional time, and then they went into the learning centres. Thank you kindly!

Toothy is my favorite! We don’t have to use the toothy portion, we can use the cards with other board games which makes it fun for the kids and keeps things changing!!

Bought both the digital and printable. I like the option for having both. Great resource my group is tough this year and this will help grow them socially and emotionally.
Chelsea H. –
I have been using this in conjunction with the SEL lesson plans. It has been great to use during morning meeting, especially in the firsts weeks as we a doing a lot of community building.
Melissa W. –
I love all things toothy and so do my students. This is a great product that allows students to get in touch with their feelings and emotions.
Nicole R. –
My class loves task cards and how wonderful to be able to use this resource to strengthen my students’ social emotional wellness!
Dennis F. –
Great way to get children to think about how they would deal with issues/situations that they will face. I read a card to the group, give them a minute or two to think about how they would handle a given situation, then have them share their thoughts will a table partner. Children share their partners thoughts (a good way to work on listening skills) with the group as many students are not comfortable sharing their own thoughts but don’t mind when their partners share for them.
Herenia M. –
My kids love the toothy cards. They love to get the little box and work together or on their own. They love to fill up their mat and fill in the teeth.

I’ve only used a few of the task cards but my kids loved them and it’s a great way to focus on a skill that students are struggling with without being called out directly.
Amy G. –
I love these as much as the other Toothy tasks! I incorporate these in our Morning Huddles with Postivity Project to help with SEL application!
Wendy K. –
I started using this resource in my social skills groups. The students like to do the task cards independently after we’ve talked about the topic. Thank you!
Lindsay Bock –
This is AMAZING! All year I’ve been trying to find the perfect mix of visuals, activities, digital & printable… this purchase was it! My SpEd kiddos love these for morning check-in’s & PSD group work.
