Behavior Choices Worksheet

Helping young children understand good behavior versus bad behavior is crucial for social-emotional development. This hands-on cut and stick activity creatively builds those critical analysis and reflection skills using engaging picture sorting.

The worksheet features 10 different illustrated scenarios a child might encounter, like swinging on a chair, sharing a book, arguing over toys and putting resources back where they go. Students must examine each scene thoughtfully, discussing why the behaviors shown are right or wrong choices.

Children then cut out each scenario and physically sort them under the columns “Good Choices” or “Bad Choices” according to their own reasoning. The active sorting process cements understanding on a deeper level than just circling pictures. They gain experience breaking down and evaluating situational appropriate conduct. Finally, children glue their sorted cards permanently under the correct column, creating a reference resource for reasoning through conduct analysis independently in the future. The divided visual reminds them that small daily decisions shape not just their own feelings, but peers’ too.

Interactive, hands-on and displaying impact powerfully, this cut and stick behavior worksheet advances the crucial ability to differentiate right from wrong. Guiding children positively at a young age prevents much headache for teachers later!
