Social Story for Safe Hands and Feet

This is a Social Story for Safe Hands and Feet.

Social stories are ideal for young learners who need more support with interacting in social settings as well as students with developmental delays.

Exposing any of your young learners to social stories will benefit them as most students can benefit from developing stronger social skills.

Students who enter Kindergarten but did not attend any sort of preschool may especially benefit from social stories.

These can be implemented at the start of the school year when you begin to discuss classroom procedures and expectations. This is also ideal any time of the year.

Social stories are impactful in school settings, home settings and any other childcare settings.

The words are paired up with images that will help students identify certain emotions and how to best respond in certain situations.

Some examples of the stories included are:

I need to remember to keep my hands and feet to myself. This will make my friends happy and want to play with me because they feel safe. My teachers and parents will also be happy when I have safe hands and feet.

When I get angry or I think someone is being mean to me I need to STOP and think is this a good choice or a bad choice?

I can sit in a quiet place until I can calm down.

Sometimes I have to wait for things that I want. Sometimes I have to do things I do not want to do. Sometimes I feel angry when something happens that I don’t like.
