Social+Skill+Building+Resources

[|Teaching Social Skills In a Middle School Language Arts Class], its a hefty title but seems to be a good resource for both students and teachers. Social skills are very important, and sometimes it is up to us to ensure our students have them. If we can improve their social skills their behaviour will also improve. This site offers many ways to do this within the ordinary classroom. It provides step-by-step guides to how to approach various issues within the classroom. The site itself may be poorly planned and laid out, but it still contains some good information and games for kids.

The games can be found [|here] and are slightly outdated in looks, but younger children may find them fun to interact with and they should in fact be very helpful in increasing their ability to recognise expressions. There are also some worksheets which may be adapted for use in the classroom or as homework.

All in all while perhaps not the best resource for you, it may be a good one to look at for some tips, ideas and links.
