"Free" always grabs my attention, but if it's really good and free it's just a wonderful gift.  That's Overcoming Obstacles, a life skills curriculum for grades K-12. 
"Overcoming Obstacles is a nonprofit education publisher that provides free life skills curriculum materials to educators worldwide. Our mission is to ensure all children learn the life skills they need to achieve success.' 
That's taken directly from their website.  Click the image and check it out. 

You need to make an account, but they don't fill up your inbox, it is free with no strings. The lessons are in line with what we want for social-emotional learning, and they're good.  You know how you buy a book, or a curriculum and feel lucky if half of it is useful? Often wondering, "Did they try this out on actual kids? Cause it would never hold their attention!"  The lessons on this site actually work-- they have a great message and they are engaging.  

I haven't tried it yet but the middle school lessons look like a good fit for group activities. 

So save time, get off Pinterest, just go to Overcoming Obstacles. 
Click here to check out one of the Grade 3-5 lessons on Resolving Conflicts.
