Learning about Others

One activity my students loved, was learning about different staff members in the school.  We polled all of the staff about their favorite things (like food, color, etc.) and some personal info (their birthdays, names, etc.).

Then we learned about a new person in our school each month.  I created a blank template where we could put a picture of the person as well as answer same basic questions about them.

This activity is great for working on answering questions, learning about others, and increasing social skills.  It also works on perspective taking...a lot of my kids want to answer the questions with THEIR favorites...not the staff members...so this teaches them to understand that other people have different preferences than themselves.
