A bigger map for every age.
Simple activity books that help kids pause and look around before they decide: who a choice touches, what it might start, and how they feel inside.
Kids decide fast. We help them see more first.
When we choose in a hurry, we usually see only what’s right in front of us. Kids are no different. These activity books give them a light, fun way to practice looking around before they decide, using puzzles, stories, drawing, and simple questions.
Every book borrows a few simple questions from ChoiceUp’s framework, like who a choice touches and what it might start. Each age goes a little deeper.
There are no lectures here, and no “good kid, bad kid.” A choice is just something you can look at again.

Choose by age
Each activity book is made so a child can work on their own or alongside a parent or guardian. The questions inside travel well, too: try one at dinner, in the car, or after a hard day. For teachers, the activities fit easily into morning meetings, advisory periods, and small groups. They work alongside what you already teach, not in place of it.
The Chance to Choose Activity Books
Chance to Choose
An activity workbook for ages 5–8
Meet Chance, a superhero whose superpower is noticing what's really going on, and his friends Lee, Pause, and Current. Young kids learn three simple steps they can use anywhere: pause, think, choose. A grown-up can read along and help.
Chance to Choose
An activity book for ages 13-18
Written for teens, this book explains what's happening in the brain, body, and emotions when a choice feels hard, then gives them room to reflect and decide their next step with more confidence.
Chance to Choose
An activity workbook for ages 9-12
Chance, Lee, Pause, and Current are back, with a little more to think about. Kids read how Chance became a decision-making superhero by pausing instead of going along, then try the same thing in their own lives.
