Not Winning Social Story

Description

This social story is a great read for students who may need some support with understanding that they can’t always be the winner in every game. It provides support for students to help them understand that others might win and how they can cope with that.

Many students with autism are visual learners and like to learn through seeing something in action. This book comes complete with matching, simple yet engaging graphics to help describe what is being said on the page.

Comes in col option only – no b/w availability, however you can print in grayscale.

Pages included are;
♦ I like to play games with my friends.
♦ We take turns playing games.
♦ There are lots of different types of games that we play.
♦ Sometimes I win, and sometimes I lose.
♦ Sometimes my team wins, and sometimes they lose.
♦ Winning is lots of fun and it makes me feel happy.
♦ But sometimes I am not the winner, and someone else wins.
♦ This might make me feel angry, sad or even jealous!
♦ This is okay, everyone feels a bit sad that they don’t win.
♦ If I get angry because I lost I might start shouting.
♦ My friends will feel angry or sad and won’t want to play with me again.
♦ I should congratulate the winners.
♦ And I can say that I am sad because I didn’t win.
♦ Maybe I will win next time.
♦ My friends will like this and will want to play with me again.

I recommend printing out each of the individual pages, laminating them and then binding them into a book so it will be easier for students to read – or be read to, as well as being stronger and longer lasting.
