Description
This social emotional learning and social skills lesson on thought bubble vs talking bubble (social filter) will help students understand what thoughts are inappropriate to say out loud and should stay in their thought bubble and which thoughts are appropriate to say out loud and can go in their talking bubble. This is important because saying negative words/phrases out loud can hurt other people. Students need to understand that their feelings and thoughts about others are okay, but sometimes those feelings/thoughts need to stay in their thought bubble so they won’t hurt other people.
What is this?
Let’s teach students about the their social filter. This is simply done through an engaging social story game, THREE related printable activities, a transition to close the lesson, an extended learning “idea” for that week and “The Best Of Me” awards.

What Is a social story game?
The social story game contains a 25-page story that will help students practice distinguishing between which words should go in a thought bubble vs a talking bubble. Students will take turns answering the questions on each page. The story is unique because it has situations for students to put “themselves” as the characters to help them make their own positive choices. Scenarios may include situations at school, home and in public places.
What are the printable activity sheets?
- The first activity is a small social story book that students will cut apart, color and staple back together .
- The second activity is an award/coloring activity
- The third activity is a cut/paste activity where students sort thoughts that would go in a thought bubble vs a talking bubble.
⭐️Students will need markers/colored pencils/crayons, a scissors and glue stick to complete these activities.
What is the transition?
A simple question students will answer to help them transition smoothly to the next activity. This also should be used as DATA to see if students understood the lesson.
What is an extended learning idea?
A simple “idea” on how to build on this lesson. This is done through modeling, teacher acknowledgement and praise.
How should I teach this?
- Read the social story game on a DIGITAL DEVICE used as PDF or you can print it out. Students will take turns answering the questions. Use the questions on each page to expand on the lesson depending on the level of your students.
- Have students complete the printable activity(s)
- Complete the transition activity
- Use the extended learning ”idea” for the rest of the week up to a year to build on this lesson.
- Hand out "The Best Of Me" Awards throughout the week/year when you see students giving "The Best Of Me"
