Elementary School Character Education Handouts

Use this Freebie to open a discussion on bullying. I've included a student page with discussion questions and activities and a teacher page with lots of resources.

Note: A great start to discussing bullying might be to read about Hans Christian Andersen, the author of "The Ugly Duckling". Hans was often teased as a boy. He was very tall and skinny. He was called "scarecrow" by neighborhood children. One day, he actually climbed a tree to get away from bullies who were chasing him. Then, he got tangled and stuck. His father had to come help get Hans out of the tree.  Check out my resource, a Reader’s Theater Script on Hans Christian Andersen: Hans Christian Andersen: A Reader's Theater Script

***Please note, these same TASK CARDS (only) are also included in the following discounted resource: Apologizing Task Cards and Worksheets Packet Grades 1-2

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

• PDF Zip File
• 40 Pages
• Grades: 2 - 4
• Excellent for ELL students, Special Ed students, and students with Autism

This resource includes:

------ 20 Scenario Worksheets (same scenarios in the Task Cards - contains two questions)

------ 20 BROWN Scenario Task Cards with Questions

------ 20 BROWN Scenario Task Cards without Questions

------ 20 B&W Scenario Task Cards with Questions

------ 20 B&W Scenario Task Cards without Questions

This pack of 20 Social Skills Scenario Task Cards and Worksheets highlight real-life social scenarios and situations centered around APOLOGIZING and can be used to help young "kiddos" of all levels and abilities (in grades 2-4) to practice and build social skills. These highly relevant scenarios expose young learners to skills they need to interact with others effectively, forge positive relationships, improve social skills and behavior, and most importantly, build confidence in managing situations and apologizing when necessary.

WORKSHEETS

The Social Skills Scenario Worksheets contain the same scenarios in the Task Cards. There are two questions on each worksheet (for each scenario). Students are asked to read the scenario and think and write about how each person (in the scenario) should handle the situation/problem. It is important for students to consider both perspectives and determine how both individuals can appropriately respond to the situation presented. They are also asked the "why" question to help them reflect about why these actions are appropriate.

Here's an example:

Scenario:

During lunch time, you bump into Lily. She drops her lunch on the floor.

Questions:

1. What should you do or say to Lily in this situation?

2. How should Lily handle this situation and why?

TASK CARDS

The Task Cards come in 4 different formats: B&W with questions, B&W without questions, Brown with questions, and Brown without questions. You can print them out on gloss paper or regular paper and laminate them. You may also organize them in a binder ring and use in small groups.

How/When To Use Scenario Task Cards

• Role-Playing: Students can collaborate in pairs or groups to act out a variety of scenarios and demonstrate appropriate responses. Role-playing activities can also be used to show how skills are used improperly and then asking the 'audience' to help reenact properly. This activity can ultimately improve confidence, communication, and assertiveness skills.

• Icebreaker: This can be a great way to start a meeting, training session, or team-building activity. It’s also a great way to get students to get to know each other and buy into the purpose of an upcoming activity or lesson.

• Play Writing Exercise: Students can work in groups to create skits or scenes then perform the skit for the class.

• Writing Response: Students can be given a scenario to read and then write their responses. Students can switch papers with a partner who then reads their responses and determines whether they agree/disagree with their responses/approaches to these real-life scenarios.

• Discussion: Students can discuss the Social Scenario Task Cards in groups or whole class. They can discuss things like “What would you do?”, “Why would you do that?”, and “What are some other options you could consider?”

***Please note: These same Task Cards along with 100 differentiated worksheets are included in the following resource: Social Skills Apologizing Packet (Grades 1-3).

Additionally, the Apologizing Social Skills Task Cards (Grades 2-3) (which is included in this resource) can also be purchased separately in my store.
