5 Ways to Use a Social Skills Packet in Your Classroom
Building strong social skills doesn’t have to feel like “one more thing” on your to-do list.
Here are 5 easy ways to weave social-emotional practice into your day using a Social Skills Packet:
-
Morning Meetings: Start the day with a quick discussion or role-play based on a social scenario.
-
Small Group Lessons: Use targeted pages to practice skills like problem-solving or handling unexpected changes.
-
Brain Breaks: Pick a short activity that helps students shift gears and refocus while still learning.
-
Behavior Support: Incorporate social skills activities into behavior intervention plans (BIPs) to build proactive strategies.
-
SEL Centers or Stations: Set up a rotating SEL station where students can work on empathy, emotional regulation, or resilience skills independently.
✨ Pro tip: Don’t be afraid to revisit the same skills often — social learning grows best with lots of real-world practice!
