Tips on Teaching Social Skills to Children

Games and Activities
Planning certain social skills activities for children is perhaps the best way to inculcate the same in them. Games can be fun and at the same time educate children on how to behave, communicate and present themselves in a social situation.

For Teaching "Co-operation"...
Have the kids stand in a circle. Next, draw a circle in the middle with a chalk. Give instructions that as soon as you whistle, the kids have to run and accommodate themselves in the circle drawn by you. Once the kids do that, make another smaller circle in between the previously drawn circle. Now, the kids have to accommodate themselves in this even smaller area. While doing so the kids will have to hold each other or make suggestions as to how to fit it. Thus, by undertaking such team games for children, the communication and co-operation amongst them can be improved considerably.
