Rusty the Greyhound: Learning Personal Accountability - Social Skills Behavior Story - SEL

When Rusty accidentally breaks a window at home, he blames it on his friend Polar. But then he has a funny feeling in his belly - Polar is going to be in trouble for something that he didn’t do! Rusty admits that he broke the window, and although his parents are mad that he lied, they’re happy that he took responsibility.

You get Three Versions for different-aged learners.

1. One version has very basic language and short sentences with boom cards included.

2. The second has slightly longer sentences and harder words with worksheets and an answer key.

3. The third version has the story on 1 page with short answer questions for your students to answer.

Students will enjoy the colorful pictures while watching Rusty learn good choices and do the right thing.

What You Get!

To start with, you get the Behavior Story for FREE!

Help Rusty escape from the escape room Behavior games!

There are several clues for you to find in the room. When you find them click on the screen in that area to open the next question. Answer the questions to help Rusty escape the room. After every successfully answered question, you get a token. Collect all 4 to escape the room! The four questions are generally based on the behavior story but are different from the Boom Card questions.

Try the sample version here.

The Floor is Lava style Behavior Games

You will get both versions of the Floor is Lava games. The Floor is Snow, and the Floor is a Wave. If your students get the question wrong, the snow gets deeper, or the wave gets bigger. If they get the question correct, the snow goes down, and so does the wave's size. Don't allow Rusty to get buried by the snow or the wave.

All four behavior games use the same four questions. You will have the choice to select which game you want to do with your students. This way, you can ask the four questions again but in a different style of game.

You will also get 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!

Juli S

Rusty is a great idea for my at Risk/SPED preschool students. I am a school social worker and they love him.

I love this! The interactive parts really take this to a new level.  

We love Rusty and all his adventures. And I cant wait to try the boom cards with the kids.

So far, Rusty has been on these adventurers, but many more are coming.
