This Social Story Unit, "We Are Kind" teaches students about kind and unkind behaviors. It also teaches appropriate ways to be kind to friends, adults, and classmates.

This unit includes: 1 interactive adapted book, 20 task cards for practice and review, and 16 full color coping strategies posters (Visuals) that can be displayed in a "cool-down," area or kept on a metal ring at student desks. It also includes a black and white reflection sheet that students may use to reflect on their behavior, by writing or drawing their answers.

This unit works well as a small group activity and especially with social skills groups because the activities are designed to foster conversations about using coping strategies at school instead of using physical aggression. 

The adapted book provides a fun and interactive way for students of all abilities to participate in learning strategies for being kind, or being a better friend.

Sample Text:

"We don't scream.
We're not rude.
We don't give an attitude.

Keep in mind. We are kind.

We don't mock.
We don't tease.
We don't bother friends with ease.

Keep in mind. We are kind." 

After the teacher or therapist has read the book with students, students can complete the task cards and discuss them as a group.

There is also a set of "Ways to Be Kind" posters/or visuals that are designed to serve as visual reinforcers.  

If your students enjoy and benefit from these activities, there are many more adapted books in my collection. Please see the complete adapted book collection below.
