Following Directions Social Skills Behavior Story Growing Bundle - SEL

In this Bundle you will get the following Stories:

1. Rusty the Greyhound: Following Directions - Social Skills Behavior Story - SEL
   It is always important to follow the rules. In this story Rusty learns how important it is to listen to rules everywhere, even at the amusement park. He can’t wait to go on the rollercoaster! He behaves really well by walking beside his mom and waiting patiently in the line. But Rusty doesn't want to keep his hands inside the car, which means that the roller coaster can’t start. When we don’t follow rules, we ruin the fun for our friends too… Rusty quickly realizes this and decides to follow the rules so that everyone can enjoy the ride.
   
2. Rusty the Greyhound: Learning How to Follow School Rules - Social Skills Behavior Story - SEL
   School rules are there to make sure that everybody has fun, but sometimes, this means that we have to wait our turn. Learn how Rusty decides to wait patiently for the things he wants, as well as asking to borrow things instead of snatching them. After following the school rules with Rusty, we’ll learn some things that we can do to make waiting more fun.
   
3. Rusty the Greyhound: Following Directions at Circle Time - Social Skills Behavior Story - SEL
   Circle time can be so much fun for everyone, but not when people aren’t playing by the rules. Rusty doesn’t want to sit down and listen to the story, and this is distracting for his friends and his teacher. Rusty’s teacher reminds him of the rules, and Rusty realizes that actually, they’re really simple to follow! All we have to do is sit on a comfortable carpet, use our listening ears, and not talk.
   
4. Learning to Clean Up - Social Skills Behavior Story - SEL
   Playing with toys is so much fun! Having to clean up can be a bit boring. Rusty doesn’t want to help his friends clean up the toys after playing, but this makes his teacher mad. Rusty decides to start by putting one toy away and then another until finally, he and his friends have cleaned up the entire classroom. That was easy!
   
5. Rusty Must Wait In Line To Go Outside - Social Skills Behavior Story - SEL
   Not walking in line is a safety issue. When it’s time to play outside, we have to wait in line. But Rusty doesn’t want to do that, Rusty wants to run outside and be the first to play! His teacher tells Rusty that it can be dangerous to run outside by himself and that it’s safer to wait in line for the whole class to go outside together.
   
6. Rusty the Greyhound: We Dont Have To Be First In Line - Social Skills Behavior Story - SEL
   Whenever it’s time to line up, Rusty runs to make sure that he is first in line. When someone else is first in line, Rusty pushes them out the way so that he can take their place. Rusty doesn’t want to hurt his friends but learns that pushing them could make them fall over. Rusty’s teacher makes him wait at the back of the line. Although this makes him mad, he remains calm and learns that when everyone is going to the same place there’s no need to be first in line.
   
7. Rusty the Greyhound Must Stand and Walk In Line - Social Skills Behavior Story - SEL
   Rusty doesn’t want to wait in line to go outside, he wants to run faster than his friends and push people out of the way so that he can get there first. He quickly learns that this is dangerous and can lead to someone getting hurt. Not only that but when he can’t follow the rules of waiting in line, he has to start all over again - meaning that he has to wait even longer to go outside. Help Rusty to learn the rules for waiting in line as well as practice the 3 steps to staying calm.

This will be a growing bundle. As I create more stories about Following Directions, I will add them to this bundle, and the cost will go up. If you buy now you will get any new stories for free! All you have to do is re-download it. I will not guarantee how often I add stories since I create them as my students need a particular story. I will post when a new story is added to my social media sites: www.RustyTheGreyhound.com, and I will send a message on TpT.

Now With Comprehension Questions and Boom Card Learning Included!

As your students read or are read the story, there will be questions for them to answer. These questions will help to reinforce the concept that is being taught.

You will get two versions of the story. One version will be the story; the other will have the comprehension questions as you are reading the story. 

The Adventures of Rusty the Greyhound are a series of Behavior Stories to help your students learn to make good choices. These simple stories show Rusty in different situations and strategies he used to make a good choice. Rusty's problems in these behavior stories are the same problems that your students will face every day. Your students can learn from Rusty the Greyhound Behavior Stories to make better choices in the future!
