SOCIAL SKILLS
When you lean in, make eye contact, and smile while talking with someone, it shows that you are...
listening/interested
If I have a hard time getting a chance to talk on Zoom, and someone notices and asks me to share, how will I feel?
Happy!!!
When you disagree with something someone says, does it mean you don't like them?
No! We all like different things and have different ideas, and that's what makes us interesting!!
We need to be polite when someone's ideas are different from our own.
Does everyone like to talk and get attention in groups?
No, some people are quiet, a little shy, and it's called introverted.
As a friend, you can make sure those people have a chance to share what they have to say, or if they have a song request in the chat that's been missed.
When I am __________ by another person in the middle of something I'm saying, I feel frustrated, and like they aren't interested in what I'm saying.
interrupted
When someone mentions a food you don't like, what should you NOT say?
Ew! That's gross!! I hate that food!
What should you do instead?
What should I do when someone else is talking but I'm excited to share what I have to say?
If I'm afraid I will forget, I can write it down.
Then I can listen to my friends and enjoy what they are saying. When they are finished, they will be happy to hear what I have to say.
If my friend looks upset or is crying on Zoom, what can I do?
You can send them a message in the chat and ask if they are ok.

Patiently wait to hear if they would like help.

If someone makes a mistake and interrupts someone when they are speaking, what should I do?
Even though it's frustrating, you should take a deep breath and understand that mistakes happen and we are all doing our best.
If my feelings are hurt on Zoom, what can I do?
Email or message Corinne so she can talk to you about it privately.

You can raise your hand.
How can I get to know someone new? What can I talk about?
