This particular student knew they would upset other classmates by beating them to the spot and this tended to be the motivation. In general, racing in the classroom for me was leading to students running and upsetting one another so I was trying to discourage it. Racing in gym class or on the playground would be different. What I was seeing at the time of writing this was not the friendly competition that you are referring to which I agree needs to be taught and practiced. For my students who have struggled with wanting to win I have started with adults playing games one-on-one with them and sometimes they would win and sometimes I would win. We would practice how to act in both scenarios. Once they had success with me/para/SLP, I would start introducing it in a small group. I would suggest reviewing good sportsmanship before the game begins. They may need a script for how to react when they win and if they do not win. Giving some guidance on how to handle the outcome can relieve some of the stress involved. I hope this helps!

When I saw the card for "race" I thought I might use that as a "good choice" , and then to say racing is okay, but not to hit. I could use a shaking hand card to say "Good race".<br /><br />However on the last page of your social story, Being a good friend, I see you have put "I do not try to beat my friends". As children get older (especially boys) they become more competitive. Any suggestions how to teach children how to deal with competition as they will face it. Do you think I should tell children in my class not to race?<br /><br />Thanks, <br />KatherineKatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03530488381862667245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933065296656663568.post-38251745162142880602013-09-13T15:40:00.125-07:002013-09-13T15:40:00.125-07:00Hi Bianca!

I have enjoyed looking at all of your ideas! If it is okay with you, I think I would like to use your "Being a Good Friend" social story on the first day of school. I don't really follow blogs, but I will definitely be coming back to yours!<br />Thank you for all the wonderful ideas!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445718020851287795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933065296656663568.post-29942879877754220102012-07-21T20:24:38.568-07:002012-07-21T20:24:38.568-07:00Lacey, I'm so glad to see other educators find...Lacey, I'm so glad to see other educators finding my social stories and sorts helpful!Allison Officer, M.S.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046065967432355365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933065296656663568.post-53365358022820227432012-07-15T13:03:49.976-07:002012-07-15T13:03:49.976-07:00I love this!!!
