Stranger Danger – Social Story for Kids
Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
Teaching children about stranger safety is crucial, but can be a scary topic. This Stranger Danger Social Story takes the fear out of this important lesson by using a warm, straightforward approach. Designed for preschool and elementary age kids, this social story clearly defines "stranger" and explains why children should never go anywhere with someone they don't know. It covers strangers in different situations, like if approached on the street, in a store or playground. Kids learn that strangers can trick them with offers of candy, pets or fun activities. Importantly, this Stranger Danger story also teaches children what to do if a stranger tries to interact with them. It provides simple steps like saying "No!", running to a trusted adult, yelling for help and reporting it right away. The empowering message is: Your body is yours and no one can take you without permission. With its therapeutic tone and real-world advice, this social story removes anxiety and arms children with strategies. It is an indispensable tool for teachers, counselors, social workers and parents wanting to broach this sensitive safety issue. Using concrete examples and a reassuring voice, this Stranger Danger guide will build awareness, confidence and essential skills to help keep kids secure.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.

SEL Presentations Boom Deck-Traffic Light Feelings With Audio
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Speech Therapy, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Presentations, Activities
In this SEL Boom Deck SEL presentation, there are 24 playing task cards with audio so there is no reading required. There are also 7 informational cards with audio as well. Students will learn about traffic light feelings. There are different intensity levels of feelings and each one is a certain color. For example, red means stop-this is when one is feeling angry, unsafe, really upset or scared. Yellow means slow down; feelings associated with yellow are worried, silly, excited, distracted in class and frustrated. Green means go-the feelings associated with green are happy, calm, proud, and focused. Students will click on either the red, yellow or green light image at the bottom of every page. There is a prompt to have students share what strategies can be used if someone is red or yellow and need to calm down. Some of the examples given in the Boom Deck are; Adam was nervous about the first day of school, Yani was frustrated that his friend was not playing by the rules, Sam knocked down his tower because he was upset about not having more red blocks, Julie was happy it was yoga day in P.E. today, Chase was super scared about the shadow of the cactus, Gigi felt grateful for her birthday present, Evan was super excited it was carnival day at school, Pari was feeling scared about the thunder and lightening, and many more child relatable scenarios. This lesson can be used for preschool, kindergarten, first grade and second grade. This lesson will help students self-regulate by encouraging them to identify and manage those strong feelings many students (and adults) have throughout the day. This Boom Deck is a great extension activity after my other lesson on traffic light feelings here: https://teachsimple.com/product/traffic-light-feelings-lesson-an-sel-self-regulation-tool Please visit Boom Learning for Terms of Use for their decks.

School assemblies can be overwhelming for some students who struggle with changes to routine or large, noisy gatherings. That's why this School Assemblies Social Story is an invaluable tool for easing anxiety and promoting skills. Social stories use simple language and visuals to walk children step-by-step through challenging situations. This school assemblies story uses a reassuring tone and eye catching pictures to explain what assemblies are, who attends them, what to expect, and tips for coping. The story covers arriving at the assembly, sitting quietly, appropriate responses, avoiding distractions, and more. Using concrete examples and positive reinforcement, this social story builds understanding of assembles as well as skills like following directions, focus, and self-regulation. Teachers can review the story with individuals or small groups to reduce apprehension and prevent sensory overload. The clear explanations and real-world scenes help students know what to anticipate. With its therapeutic approach, this School Assemblies Social Story fosters confidence, independence and inclusion. It is an excellent resource for special education teachers, counselors, and other professionals supporting neurodiverse learners or students with behavioral challenges. By articulating social expectations in a comprehensive yet accessible way, this story empowers children to successfully participate in assemblies. 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.

Therapy Dog - Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭

Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭 There’s something special about the presence of a therapy dog in the classroom. Even the most restless students seem to relax. Some kids who rarely speak up suddenly open up. And for many, it’s the first time they’ve had a chance to experience the unconditional support that a dog offers. But what if we took that experience and turned it into a learning moment? That’s exactly what this reflection activity does. It helps students think about what kindness means, why responsibility matters, and how their actions affect others—whether those others have two legs or four. Why This Activity Feels Different ✔ It gets students thinking, not just answering. It’s not about memorizing facts. It’s about pausing for a moment and reflecting on simple but meaningful questions. ✔ It connects emotions with actions. Why do therapy dogs have rules? Why does kindness matter? These questions lead to unexpectedly deep discussions. ✔ It’s easy for any grade level. Younger kids can draw their answers, while older students might write or discuss. No one feels left out. ✔ It works with or without a therapy dog. Even if your school doesn’t have one, this still sparks conversations about empathy and responsibility. ✔ No prep required. Just print it out, hand it to students, and let them think. How I Use It in My Classroom 📌 First, we talk. I ask, “How do animals teach us about kindness?” or “What do therapy dogs need from us?” The answers are never what I expect—and that’s the best part. 📌 Then, students reflect. They complete a few simple but thoughtful prompts about their own behavior, their emotions, and what they’ve learned. 📌 Next, we share (if they want to). I never make sharing mandatory. But I’m always surprised by how many students want to. 📌 Finally, we put up the poster. It’s a small reminder that kindness and responsibility go beyond the classroom. 🐶 One more idea: If you have a therapy dog visit your class, have students read their reflections to the dog. You’d be amazed at how much more open and engaged they become! What Other Teachers Have Said ✔ “I used this before our first therapy dog visit, and it made a huge difference in how students behaved around the dog.” ✔ “It’s simple but powerful. The class discussions that came from this were amazing.” ✔ “Perfect for social-emotional learning, even without a therapy dog!” Why This Activity Sticks with Students At the end of the day, this isn’t just another worksheet. It’s a way to help students slow down, think about their actions, and reflect on what really matters—whether that’s how they interact with a therapy dog, a classmate, or the world around them. 📥 Give it a try—you might be surprised by what your students come up with. 🐶✨ 📍 Warmly, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨

Stress Management Game played like Apples To Apples-Handouts
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Games
In this fun game, played similarly to the Apples To Apples game, students will read different stressful situations and choose a strategy they would use for that situation. There are 18 situation cards and 36 strategy cards. Each player draws 5 strategy cards (they do not show the other players which cards they have). The "judge" will draw a situation card and show the other players the card after reading the situation. For example, "You don't know the answers when taking a test." Then the other players will choose a strategy card they would use for that situation and place it face down to near the judge. The judge will read the different strategy cards and choose which one they would most likely choose. Important to convey to students: There is no "wrong" strategy, just a strategy that the judge would most likely use. Then for the next round, a different person is the judge and the game continues. the discarded strategy cards can get placed under the strategy pile. the person whose strategy was chosen, gets the situation card and also gets one point. This is a fun and engaging way to get students talking about different strategies they would use for stress management as well as different types of stressful situations they can manage if they need to. In this resource you will also be getting 2 mindful coloring handouts. This is a great way to finish the lesson after the game. I also like to begin this lesson by introducing a Brain Pop on stress. You can also choose a short video of your choice or a book about stress to prime the students' brains about what stress is, possible triggers of stress and how to cope with stress. Then the game can be played and can reinforce the topic.
