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 summer activities, making it not just fun 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 Summer-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 Summer Scenarios

• Grayson's Pool Splash: Grayson does a cannonball into the pool right next to a small, nervous-looking child. A wave splashes over the child, and they start to cry.

• Kevin's Firework Reaction: Kevin’s little brother gets scared during the 4th of July fireworks. Kevin tells him to stop being such a baby.

• Levi's Park Assistance: Levi sees a small child crying at the park. They tell him that they can’t find their mom. Levi stops playing with his friends to help the child.
