Life Skills & Social Learning Worksheets

The material here is about the things school assumes children arrive already knowing: naming a feeling, waiting for a turn, understanding that someone else can want something different from what you want, telling the time, handling money, knowing what to do when a plan changes. The worksheets work as conversation starters more than as exercises. A sheet asking a child to match faces to feelings is worth ten minutes on its own and an hour if it prompts a conversation about the afternoon they had at school. Suitable for ages four to ten. Nothing here needs to be completed in one sitting, and the emotional-awareness sheets in particular are worth returning to across a term rather than finishing in a week.
