Everyday Social Skills
Develop students' social awareness and decision-making skills with the Everyday Social Skills resource! This engaging activity features real-life scenarios where students must select the best response from multiple choices. Covering essential topics such as empathy, respectful communication, and positive behaviour, this resource is perfect for class discussions, role-playing activities, and social-emotional learning lessons.
Learning goals
- We are learning to seek, give, or deny permission respectfully when sharing possessions or personal space.
- We are learning to practise strategies for seeking, giving, or denying permission respectfully.
- We are learning to make connections between our emotions, feelings and how we respond to them as actions or reactions.
- We are learning to describe and demonstrate how respect and empathy can be expressed to positively influence relationships.
- We are learning to investigate how emotional responses vary in depth and strength by recognising and comparing different emotional reactions to various situations.
