Being a Good Sport Free Social Story

Field day is a popular activity as the weather gets warmer and the school year winds down.

Teams are formed, and friendships can be made and ended on the field.

We all realize how important it is to teach our students what being a good sport means. And for many of our students, it needs to be done in a structured, focused, and purposeful way.  

Many kids learn these skills from coaches and other adults who influence them while honing their athletic skills on the court, field, or pool.

However, what about those students who simply do not have the skill or desire to play a competitive sport?  These skills are equally important, and we need to teach them in a structured way.

Of course, it takes LOTS of practice but we need a place to start.  

A social story is one way to introduce this topic and start some good conversations.  

You can download this FREE copy of my social story: Being a Good Sport by clicking the button below. It is editable, so you can tweak it to fit your specific needs.

I have created some activities that go along with this story and you can find them in the complete unit.  There are sorting activities for several different learning levels and a booklet for students to make.

Being a good sport is not always easy, but it is very important.  

Learning how to win and how to lose graciously is something every student can be taught using the right tools, time, and some patience.
