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

Swap out the usual New Year's routine with these engaging social problem-solving scenarios. They're the perfect way to inject a dose of social-emotional learning into your New Year's activities, making it not just a countdown 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 New Year's-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 New Year's Scenarios

• Olivia's Cleaning Complaints: Olivia’s mother asks her to help clean up for their New Year’s Eve party. Olivia whines and complains the whole time.

• Jack's Bedtime Protest: Jack wants to stay up with the adults until midnight, but his parents tell him he must be in bed at 10:00. He yells that it isn’t fair.
