Fear of mistakes

Practice a helpful move for fear of mistakes.

Picture cards: Notice the mistake · Pick one change · Try again

Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Practice choosing a stopping point. Say “I’ll check the main requirements once and send the draft.” Try it once with a partner. Switch roles and try it again.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
