Every day, children and young people are expected to respond to a wide variety of social situations that occur in their daily lives. This entertaining pack of role-play scenarios helps to prepare them for these situations where they may struggle with social responses – to respond with appropriate understanding, empathy or listening skills.
This practical resource uses illustrated role-play activities to promote appropriate responses to common social enquires. Appropriate responses to such situations demonstrate a knowledge of ‘social code’ as well as listening and empathy skills. This pack works at an advanced level. Basic and intermediate level resources are also available.
The activities are suitable for teenagers (UK Key Stage 3/4; 11-16 years) whose pragmatic skills are delayed.
For more information see below.
The Social responses advanced level is based on role-play activities and pack contains colourful picture cards, illustrating common social interactions, which are designed to elicit responses and promote discussion. Examples of scenarios covered include owning up to mistakes, responding to visitors on the doorstep, and responding to another’s needs.
One aim is to enable the pupils to understand that there is not always a ‘set’ response to a social enquiry. For example: If someone says, ‘Thank you’ as an expression of gratitude for something, then that may elicit in response, ‘That’s alright’, ‘You’re welcome’, ‘That’s OK’, ‘Any time’ and so forth.
The role plays are helpfully structured at first, but also give the opportunity to extend into children drawing on their own experiences to grow the activities further. The pack is structured into five distinct lesson plans, and is as easy to use as it is engaging for children and young people.
The resource was devised by Angie Wooten and illustrated by Helen Rippon. Angie has been a practicing teacher of the deaf for over thirty years and is a passionate advocate of role play . She co-authored the handbook for teachers Using Drama to Teach Personal, Social and Emotional Skills (O’Hanlon and Wootten, 2007). Her MPhil was in oral communication skills.
