Here are a couple of websites that are useful to school counselors.
www.brainpop.com is a website that has short clip movies/videos from a humorous robot (Moby) and his pal, Tim. The videos range from bullying, to hygiene, loss, and more. There is a 5 day free trial period so you can see if this website would accommodate your needs as a counselor. There is a brainpop for grades 3-6 and a brainpop jr. that is grade appropriate for k-2. This website would be useful to classroom teachers as well as counselors and can be purchased individually or for the whole building.
This website is full of useful ideas for teaching guidance to a classroom of students. There are items for character education, bullying, career readiness, and there is even a blog from the creator of the website, Marissa Rex. I really like how easy it is to navigate the website and find useful tidbits.
I think the movie clips/videos from the first website would be very beneficial for elementary counselors to use in guidance lessons. Kids of all ages love videos and these seem to be a fun and educational at the same time.
