Question 1

Does this replace our current SEL program?

Accepted Answer

No. Snowballs is a shared emotional language that makes any SEL program work better. It layers on top of Second Step, Zones of Regulation, RULER, or whatever you currently use.

Question 2

What training is required?

Accepted Answer

None. Read the book to your class. Hand out the check-in cards. The teacher guide is one page, not a binder.

Question 3

What grade levels does Snowballs work for?

Accepted Answer

Ages 5-13 across three levels. Level 1 (5-7) is drawing-based. Level 2 (8-10) is multimodal. Level 3: Preteen Edition (11-13) involves identity-level reflection.

Question 4

Does it work for special education classrooms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and often better than traditional SEL tools. Children point to a character instead of naming abstract emotions. The visual scale communicates without words.

Question 5

Is Snowballs FERPA compliant?

Accepted Answer

The physical products do not collect or transmit student data and therefore do not implicate FERPA.
