Description
This social skills small group counseling curriculum was created for upper elementary students. It focuses on positive communication and understanding others. It can be used with students on the autism spectrum, students with ADHD, gifted students, or students with no specific difference at all who just struggle with social interactions. This group also serves as a wonderful tier 2 intervention.
*This resource now includes Google Slides TM versions of all 13 sessions to use for virtual counseling or virtual teaching!*
Each session includes an engaging comic book or graphic novel style page introducing the topic, a strategies sheet, sorting cards or a worksheet, and discussion/task/practice cards to use with a cooperative learning activity. Suggestions are provided for including more movement as needed.
This ASCA-aligned resource is a complete 13-week group counseling curriculum. It is a ready-to-go group but it is also flexible. You can easily pick and choose which sessions to do, re-order them, and/or incorporate books to lengthen the group further. Sessions 2-12 could also easily be used for class lessons.

What others are saying...
“I used the Social Skills Group Activities and Curriculum with in person groups and online groups. This is FANTASTIC. Well worth the money. The activities are so very user friendly, fun for the kids, and hit the mark for social skills work. I am so pleased!”
“This is the best social skills group I have come across. The comics are engaging and concepts such as social high/lows, feelings check in, and encouragement circle strengthen group cohesion.”
“My students have loved the short “graphic novel-like” stories of each session character. The session activities are easy to use and get students thinking. Quality product.”
