Pouting

Product Details

I have some k-1st grade students who are getting very good at pouting!  We have been using The Pout-Pout Fish as a way of discouraging this behavior.  Pout-Pout fish swims around the ocean with a permanent pout stuck on his face.  As he swims around the ocean he spreads the "dreary wearies".  I love that this book leads to a discussion about our own behaviors having an impact on those around us. I'm sure you can find this book somewhere in your school district as it is a very popular story.  If not, you can purchase it HERE.



I have used many different FREE items that I have found on TPT with this book.  My favorite is this one:  The Pout-Pout Fish. {making bad moods better} by Kristin-Young.  It gets students thinking about their own actions.

Whitney Palyu Bright Ideas  came up with some great discussion questions:  The Pout-Pout Fish - Language Extension Activities.
