Mix up your back-to-school routine with our Back-to-School Social Problem Solving Activity, designed to nurture social and emotional growth in your students.

Swap out the usual routine with these engaging social problem-solving scenarios. They're the perfect way to infuse a touch of social-emotional learning into your back-to-school activities, making it not just educational but also full of valuable lessons.

CASEL 5 Social-Emotional Competencies: Our scenarios are thoughtfully crafted to spark discussions around the CASEL 5 social-emotional competencies – Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making.

What's Included

• 3 social problem-solving worksheets, each with 5 different Back-to-School-related social situations
• both color and black and white versions

How it Works

1. Decide if you want students to work independently, with a partner, or in groups. Or have students work alone and then share answers in a class discussion.
2. Students read each situation, deciding whether the child in the scenario made a good or poor choice. This process encourages critical thinking and reflection on social behaviors.
3. For good choices, students explain why the decision was positive. For poor choices, students propose alternative ways to handle the situation, sparking meaningful discussions around social skills and empathy.

Sample Back-to-School Scenarios

• Ava's Pencil Offer: Another student doesn’t have a pencil. Ava has an extra pencil and offers it to the student in need.

• Zoey's Competitive Behavior: Zoey constantly competes with classmates, one-upping their stories and interrupting to talk about herself.

• Mikah's Rule Disruption: The teacher is explaining classroom rules and procedures. Mikah repeatedly interrupts to tell her that his teacher from last year did it differently.
