Riding the School Bus Social Story
Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
For many students, riding the school bus can cause uneasiness and uncertainty. This Riding the School Bus Social Story is designed to alleviate anxiety by clearly explaining what to expect before, during and after the bus ride. Using a reassuring tone and relatable imagery, this social story walks children through bus transportation from start to finish. It covers key steps like waiting at the stop, boarding the bus, sitting properly in a seat, following safety rules, and disembarking at school. The story also provides tips for staying calm, avoiding distractions and getting help if needed. By articulating every detail of the process, this social story reduces fear of the unknown. Teachers can review it with individuals or small groups to set expectations and impart skills like following directions, seat safety and asking for assistance. The step-by-step breakdown and supportive tone build confidence in even the most apprehensive riders. An invaluable inclusion resource, this Riding the School Bus Social Story promotes independence and eases transition jitters. It is ideal for special education teachers, counselors, therapists and parents supporting neurodiverse learners or children with behavioral struggles. Provide this social story to students before the first bus ride to curb anxious feelings and pave the way for a positive school year. 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. Clipart images courtesy of Artifex

Good Sportsmanship: How to Win and Lose Well
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Life Skills, Social Skills, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Activities
Help take the frustration on of winning and losing games by helping students learn about good sportsmanship. Have students learn that there are good ways to win and good ways to lose as well as negative ways of winning and losing. What is Included: This activity includes an instructional page as well as thumbs up and thumbs down cards. There are also 8 clip cards with various scenarios around kids winning and losing games for students to determine who had a good response and who had a negative response. How to Use: One way to use this activity is to give each student a set of thumbs up and thumbs down cards. The teacher will read the scenario on the card and students will hold up a thumb card depending on if the child in the scenario did the right thing or the wrong thing. A second way to use this activity is to have the students use clips to mark the correct answer for each scenario. Older students who are able to read on their own will be able to complete the activity this way. When to Use: This activity makes a great whole class activity by having students all listen to the scenarios together and hold up the correct card. The teacher can then discuss with students why the student made a good choice or bad choice. The clip cards can be used during center rotations, morning work, or small groups. Learning this skill is important for students so that they understand the feelings of others and how their actions can affect other people's emotions. This activity is low prep. The cards just need to be printed and cut apart. Laminating the thumbs up and thumbs down cards will allow them to be used multiple times. The cards can easily be stored in a task box when not in use.
