Behavior Objective: Student will redirect their behavior when in correlating social situations by reading the power card, 3 out of 5 times they are in the situation.
Target Area: Any Level
Content Area: Social Skills
Procedure: When a child is struggling with a social situation, a power card can be created using one of the student's favorite characters to make a point. This card is then placed on the child's desk to read each day before school or when the behavior is likely to show up.
Example:
Glue a picture of a tiger on the front of a card, on the back write....
"The tiger lives in the jungle. He must be prepared for many changes. It might rain, the zebras may be running through, or the monkeys might be screeching. Tigers are quite adaptable to change."
"Just like me. I might get some surprises at school or at home. For instance, there may be a substitute teacher or a new person sitting next to me on the bus. I will be like the tiger adn be adaptable to change."
