How to Line Up at School

How to Line Up at School | Companion Activity reinforces the social, safety, and cooperation skills taught in the life skills video through a variety of interactive exercises. Students answer yes/no and WH-questions, complete sequencing tasks, retell the video using visual supports, and practice identifying correct and incorrect lining-up behaviors. The resource also includes problem-solving scenarios that help students recognize challenges that occur while lining up, determine the size of the problem, and choose appropriate solutions. Additional activities support language development, such as categorization of school routines, compare/contrast of expected and unexpected behaviors, and utterance expansion using sequencing words and action verbs. These engaging tasks help deepen understanding and promote safe, respectful, and cooperative behavior during school transitions.
