As peer relationships become more important, a social-skills program becomes vital.

This six-unit social-skills program by the successful author of the Froggy and Friends Series focuses on:

Identifying common interests among students

Practicing inclusion skills

Building classroom cohesion

Teaching basic conversational skills

Role-playing common friendship problems.

What sets this program apart from others is the way students are introduced to the concepts. This creative counselor has combined a variety of materials such as science experiments, group activities, optical illusions, quizzes, activity sheets, interviews, role-plays, and class discussions to capture the upper-elementary student’s interest and maintain it throughout the program.

Each lesson is approximately 30-45 minutes in length.

Our 15” long Jack Russell Terrier puppet can be used as the program’s mascot and integrated into the lessons by following the included optional short puppet scripts.
