I Can Be A Good Friend | Social Skills Story and Activities

Do you have a student or students who struggle to make or keep friends? Do they seem to not understand the behaviors necessary to make or keep friends? Do they expect others to play with them, even though they engage in challenging behaviors?

If so, this Social Skills Story may be just the thing to help!

Social Skills Stories use clear, concise language to break down information into small, explicit steps that help children understand what they should or should not do, in a given situation. 

Stories are a great way to teach important skills to children who are struggling to understand a particular social concept such as being a good friend.

Skill Builders combine a social skills story with one or more follow up activities and/or visual supports. These activities and visual supports help students build the skills they need, in order to use the information presented in the story more successfully. 

This Social Skills Story will help your student(s) gain a greater understanding of the specific behaviors needed to be considered a "good friend."
