Mix up your Christmas celebration with our Christmas Social Problem Solving Activity, crafted to nurture social and emotional growth in your students.

Swap out the usual Christmas routine with these engaging social problem-solving scenarios. They're the perfect way to infuse a touch of social-emotional learning into your Christmas activities, making it not just festive 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 Christmas-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 Christmas Scenarios

• Emma and Olivia's Christmas Eve Debate: Emma explains that, in her family, they get to open one gift on Christmas Eve. Olivia argues that gifts should only be opened on Christmas morning.

• Zoey's Secret Santa Gift Reaction: Zoey and her family have a Secret Santa gift exchange. When Zoey opens her gift, she groans and says that she got a baby gift and that she wants something else.

• Jackson's Positive Christmas Card Response: A classmate gives everyone homemade Christmas cards. Jackson tells them how cool it is that they made the cards and that they did a good job.
