The Easy Way To Build Executive Functioning Skills
There's a lot involved in building executive functioning skills. Staying organized, managing time, and handling unexpected challenges are all super-important.
But for most educators - it's hard to know where to start or how to make it engaging for kids.
That's why we created these new Executive Functioning Task Cards. Inside you'll get instant access to 52 printable 5x8" scenario cards.
Each one has a short, real-life situation that kids can relate to.
Along with simple prompts that encourage meaningful discussions, problem-solving, and self-reflection.
It's all organized into five key categories:
Planning & Organization
Flexible Thinking
Self-Regulation & Focus
Working Memory
Social Skills

“I’ve tried a lot of executive functioning tools over the years and this is one of the few that actually sticks. The lessons are simple but my students really get it. I like that I can reuse them during the year too.”

“Homework was honestly a battle most nights. This helped my son see what he was doing wrong (without me always pointing it out). Breaking things into steps has made a big difference for us.”

“I use this with a few of my middle school groups and it’s been really helpful. Executive functioning can be hard to explain, but this makes it easier for kids to understand and talk about.”
