Slide 2

I like talking and playing with my friends at school.

Slide 3

Sometimes, I want to play with what my friends are playing with.

When I play, I sometimes feel like taking toys, using mean words, or hitting and kicking.

My Friends get sad or mad when I hit, kick, use mean words, or take toys.

Slide 4

If I want to join in play, I need to join nicely or ask to play with my friends’ toys.

Slide 5

First I stop, then I think about what a Super Friend would do.

Super Friends use:
Use nice talking,
Gentle hands and feet,
Look with their eyes,
Listen with their ears, &
Take turns with toys.

Slide 6

I can try to be a SUPER FRIEND.

Slide 7

Taking turns can be fun!

My friends and I get to play with toys we like.

My friend can take a turn, then I can take a turn.

If I want to play with my friend’s toy, I can say:

“Can I please play with that toy?”.

Slide 8

After I ask my friend for a turn, sometimes I might have to wait for my turn, but I will get a turn soon.

Slide 9

My friends and I like playing together.

Sometimes when my friends play, I get upset.  I may want them to play with the toys my way. 

But my friends can play with toys their way and I can play my way, as long as we all play nicely together.

Slide 10

My friends get sad when I use mean talking, hit, kick, or hurt toys. 

I can try to go with the flow instead.

Slide 11

I can go with the flow.

I can stop, take 2 deep breaths, and say

To myself:  “I can go with the flow.”

Slide 12

I like going to school and playing with my friends and teachers.  I also like playing with friends at home.

But sometimes I have a hard time and feel frustrated or angry. 

If I feel this way, I need to STOP, THINK, and DO.

Slide 13

I can also remember that a Super Friend can stop, take 2 deep breaths, and say:  “I can go with the flow.”

If I am still having a hard time, I can ask an adult for help.  I can go to the adult and say:  “Can you please help me?”

Slide 14

Super Friends use:
Use nice talking,
Gentle hands and feet,
Look with their eyes,
Listen with their ears, &
Take turns with toys.

Slide 15

Everyone is happy when I am a SUPER FRIEND!
