Perspective Taking Activities - Understanding Social Scenarios

Perspective Taking is an essential and complex social skill for children. These 4 differentiated Social Scenario activities will help children who struggle to understand the importance of considering others' perspectives.

These activities lead to great discussions and encourage children to think about others in various social situations.

With these activities, children will practice perspective-taking using a wide variety of common social scenarios. This practice will help students to gain the skills needed to be more thoughtful and make better decisions in real-life social situations.

I created these activities because my students struggled to understand various everyday social situations and how to handle them. The practice and discussion are beneficial for them. I hope it can be helpful for your students as well!

Great to use in social groups, friendship groups, and lunch bunches. It can be used as a whole class lesson too.
