Social Problem Solving Posters {FREE}

By thisreadingmama 9 Comments

A few months ago, I shared a simple problem solving chart for kids. While this chart works well at home, it might not be large enough for a classroom wall, so I created some social problem solving posters {free} that are larger and clearer to see from across the room.

Posters like these plus MANY more can be found in our Social Emotional Learning Visuals Pack.

FREE Social Problem Solving Posters

The idea behind these social problem solving posters is to

  1. prevent unnecessary tattling by
  2. giving kids strategies and steps they can try when they have a problem with another peer

You can read more about how to use and teach these problem solving steps in my coping strategies post, but the idea is to start with #1: Say, “Please stop _______,” naming the specific behavior.

If step #1 doesn’t help, there are a few other steps the child can use, like ignore the behavior, walk away, or get help from a grown-up.

When a learner in my classroom {I taught K & 1st grades} would “tell” on another student, I would usually ask, “What did (s)he say when you asked him/her to stop?” If I got the blank stare, I knew the learner had skipped step #1.

Of course, there are exceptions to these steps, like being punched by another student. But for the most part, these steps are a great way to help equip young learners with life-long skills.

    I love these! I think it’s so important to give kids strategies that empower them to handle situations themselves when possible. I’m going to print them out and use them at home with my four-year-old. Thanks.
