Spring Social Emotional Activities: Social Problem Solving Scenarios

By The Responsive Educator

Mix up your springtime classroom routine with our Spring 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 springtime celebration, making it not just refreshing but also full of valuable lessons.

CASEL 5 Social Emotional Competencies: Our scenarios are thoughtfully crafted to ignite 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 spring-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 Spring Scenarios

  • Oliver's Muddy Tracks: Oliver was outside playing in mud puddles. When he came in, he tracked mud across the kitchen floor that his mother had just cleaned.

  • Kenzie's Art Apology: Kenzie accidentally steps on another student’s art project, causing a small tear. She immediately apologizes and asks if she can help to fix it.

  • Caleb's Cleanup Pretense: After the springtime craft, the art teacher asks everyone to clean up their areas. Caleb pretends to be busy, but he doesn’t clean anything.
