About this resource
Small social moments fill a school day. These social skills task cards slow them down so students in Grades 2–5 can rehearse what to say: greeting a new classmate, asking for a turn with the one magnifying glass, reading a friend’s glance at the clock, shaking hands after a close tennis match. The 100 prompts build Relationship Skills with SEL practice in manners, conversation and fitting your behavior to the setting.
What students practice
- Greeting people and introducing themselves
- Sharing, offering and taking turns
- Using manners like “please,” “excuse me” and “sorry”
- Starting, keeping and ending a conversation
- Reading social cues like a step back or a yawn
- Winning and losing well

A look inside
Set A: “At lunch, you have told three stories in a row about your weekend at the lake. Who else might want to talk? How could you give someone else a turn?”
Set B: “You realize you’ve asked your seatmate five questions in a row, like a quiz. How might that feel to them? How could you make the chat more back-and-forth?”
Set B: “Your class goes to see a live play in a real theater for the first time. How might it be different from a movie at home? When could you clap or laugh?”
How to use these social skills task cards
Grade fit
Set A (labelled Grades 2–3) teaches the basics in familiar places: greeting the bus driver, asking for the bread instead of reaching, helping a cousin feel at home. Set B (labelled Grades 4–5) moves to open questions, body language, joining a four square game and celebrating a win without rubbing it in.
Digital version
The interactive digital task cards share as one link: you choose Set A or Set B, and students type their answers on any device with no student logins. At the end they download an answer sheet to hand in.
