Help your children develop essential social skills—including groups, one-on-one interactions, and virtual communication—with these 150 easy, fun activities to teach your kids how to socially succeed.
From taking turns to making eye contact to staying engaged during conversations, developing appropriate social skills is an important factor for kids to be able to succeed in school and life in general. But how can you tell if your child is really making progress while you read the same stories, have the same conversations, and chaperone the same playdates? The answer is to add some variety to your child’s daily activities with these 150 exercises specially designed to keep your child (and their friends) entertained, all while teaching them effective social skills.
In Social Skills for Kids, you’ll learn everything you need to know about how social skills develop in children and what you can do to support their growth. In this book, you’ll find games to encourage them in group settings, activities that you (or another caregiver) can do alone with your child, and ways to make the most of virtual interactions for social skill development.
So whether you’re looking for new activities to entertain a few friends during playtime, searching for fun (and educational) games you and your child can play together, or even interested in ways to include people you can’t physically visit, Social Skills for Kids has all the tools you need to help your child develop the social skills they need to succeed.

    Wonderful Resource
    I like how simple but effective the activities are in this book. They’re perfect when you have 15 minutes until your next group and you need to put something together quick. No? That’s just me? Well, I guess you could read some of the lessons the week before and be super prepared for your group. There’s even lessons to Frankenstein your own curriculum based on ASCA standards. Highly recommend this book.

    seasoned elementary school counselor gives this book 5 stars!
    I am an elementary school counselor and teach the Second Step curriculum. This little gem of a book corresponds well to my curriculum giving me additional activities during our weekly lessons and for my small group work. Topics include activities on empathy, listening skills, communication skills, emotional regulation and problem solving to name a few. I LOVE this book!

    Fun ways to teach social skills
    “Social Skills for Kids” describes fun activities that teach social skills like active listening, understanding body language, and effective communication. The author started by explaining what social skills are usually present at different ages. She then described some activities suitable for young kids (3+) and worked up to activities for progressively older kids (6- or 7-year-olds). There were also a few things suggested that you can do with 1-2-year-olds to help them develop. There were activities like teaching how loud to talk in different situations, using descriptive language, and giving affective instructions to someone else. For each activity, the author explained the purpose, targeted age, how many people were needed, how to do the activity, and some questions to ask afterward to help the child process what they learned. The directions were easy to understand. These activities were either fun games or interesting activities that kids will probably be willing to try and aren’t too tricky to do. Overall, I’d recommend this book to people wanting creative ways to teach social skills.I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

    It’s pretty good
    It would have been better for them to write the suggestions in sections then break down the age groups but it’s very helpful
