The social situation cards are organized into five different sets that target different situations: With friends, with family, in classes, in the hallway and cafeteria, and online and texting.

Encourage Making Positive Choices

This document includes a "Task Card Discussion Questions" page that allows the teacher and/or the students to guide meaningful questions about each task card. Some of the questions include: "What is the problem in the situation?", "How might you feel?", "What are your options for how you could react?", and "What would be a good choice in this situation?". The questions focus on understanding the situation, considering the perspectives in the problem, considering options, and then making the most positive choice.

How to Use the Task Cards

The task cards can be used in guided small groups, as part of class discussions, or in partner discussion before sharing out with the larger group or class.
