Friendship Dilemmas Game-Played like Apples To Apples
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities, Games
In this resource, you will teach students how to solve a variety of friendship dilemmas. This game is played like Apples to Apples. There are 18 examples (with pictures) of friendship dilemmas. There are 36 friendship strategy cards. Some of the examples for the dilemma cards are; your friend likes to copy you, your friend brags, your friend does not let you play with other friends, your friend cheats at games, your friend shared something private to someone else and other examples. For the strategy cards, some examples are; talk to your friend about how you feel, listen to their perspective, think about your part in the problem, talk to a parent, talk to an older sibling, distract yourself with something fun, and many other strategies. For the game, divide students into groups of about 4-5. All players get 5 strategy cards. The judge begins by drawing a friendship dilemma card and reads it and shows the group. Each player chooses one strategy from their 5 cards that could be a way to handle the friendship dilemma. Players place the strategy cards FACE DOWN so the judge does not know who placed which strategy card. The judge chooses which one they would most likely use in that situation. It helps to know what the judge might choose! Important: All strategies are valid, there is not one BEST strategy, only which one the judge might most likely choose. The next round, all players take another strategy card as they always need to have 5 strategy cards with each turn. The played strategy cards go back under the strategy pile. someone else is the judge and the game continues as time allows. There are 2 mindfulness coloring sheets to offer to the students after the game. This is an engaging game to play after a friendship skills lesson or conflict resolution skills lesson.

Going on an Airplane Social Story
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
Airplane travel can be an exciting adventure, but also filled with uncertainty for many children. For kids on the autism spectrum especially, the unfamiliar surroundings and procedures can heighten confusion and anxiety without proper preparation. This social story resource aims to walk children through air travel from start to finish in a detailed yet reassuring way. The story covers every phase, using simple language and visual supports. It explains what to expect when getting tickets, packing bags, and arriving at the airport. Going through security, waiting at the gate, boarding, and taking off are all described in concrete terms. While seated on the plane, appropriate behaviors are outlined along with various occupying activities for the flight like reading books, listening to music, or watching movies. finally, the story describes the sensations of descending and landing as well as exiting the plane and airport. Common emotions a child may experience throughout are validated and labeled, like feeling eager, nervous, bored, or impatient at different points. Suggestions for coping strategies are woven in, like asking for hugs, taking deep breaths, requesting snacks, or stretching. The consistency of the narrative and matter-of-fact tone provide stability children can hold onto. By naming specific sites, sounds, procedures and feelings to expect, uncertainty is diminished. Walking through the entire airport/airplane experience start to finish, this social story is an ideal method for preparing autistic children for airplane travel. It allows them to fully understand and participate in this immersive real-world activity that requires certain social-emotional skills - exactly what social stories are designed for. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.
