These free playground visuals will help when there is rain, snow, cold or stormy weather that forces the dreaded “indoor recess”. It is important to prepare our students for a change in schedule. Keep these visual cue cards on a ring by the door so they will be easy to access.

Create a Circle Time That Feels Safe, Structured, and Engaging

If circle time has been sitting on your “I know this needs to feel better” list, this is the easiest place to start.

You’ll learn how to start small, use visuals, support regulation, build in interaction, and create a circle time routine that grows with your students over time. 

Download the guide and start with one small shift that makes tomorrow’s circle time feel easier.

    I live in Texas and we cannot go outside if the feels like is over 95. Would you be able to do a too hot outside?

      Hi Jeanine!

      I just went in and added that for you:). If you re-download, it will be there! Every once in a while that happens to us during summer school in Minnesota!

    We live in Toronto and our yard is often iced over due to the change in temp. Is it possible to get a visual that also says “Too icy.”?

    I love these! With winter coming, any way you could do “snowing” 🙂 Thanks for considering!

    Stumbled upon this site after my son’s therapy session. The social stories are great.

    I am looking for the same story but with similar pictures indicating “stay on concrete” preferably, or “feet off grass”. Weather soaks grass & turns muddy so we are restricted to concrete and I have several students who are not understanding this concept & find it impossible to follow that directive. Can you help please? Thank you so much!
