About This Product

Product Title: That Silly Student: Story and Contingency Map


The That Silly Student: Story and Contingency Map is a valuable teaching resource specifically designed to aid educators in illustrating the appropriate times for fun and silliness as well as possible strategies to contain this behavior. This product is geared towards preschool up to Grade 3 students, making it a versatile tool across various age groups.


This all-inclusive toolkit consists of:

  • A social story that explicitly lays out judicious ways one can use to release excessive bouts of silliness. It offers concise yet step-by-step guidelines that effectively address the concerns surrounding lighthearted student conduct in learning environments. The conversation-like tone makes it easier for children to understand and navigate through their emotions while keeping them engaged.

  • Two variants of a contingency map which were crafted thoughtfully with visual learners in mind, graphically demonstrating the consequences of rash behavior during carpet time or group activities. Such resources present an excellent visual illustration that concurrently encourages comprehension and reinforces good decision-making among young students.

Suggested usage entails printing out the social story, slicing each page into halves before compiling them into something akin to a book format—an easy-to-follow manuscript for your young learners!

This teaching asset comprises primarily life skills lessons—basic principles critical at these imperative developmental stages—and seamlessly integrate with your current curriculum or homeschool regimen as well.

You can access this 'life-skills' lesson plan via a zip file type download—offering convenience no matter where you are located. In summary, the "That Silly Student: Story and Contingency Map" equips educators with ready-to-use materials that provide effective strategies for managing classroom behavior while actively engaging students in their learning journey.
