My Space Bubble
Everyone has a giant, invisible bubble! It stays all around your body.
"My bubble makes me feel safe and happy."
Oh No! A Bubble Pop!
Touching someone's body pops their bubble.
It might make them feel sad or scared.

Topic: Personal Space & Hands to Self
OBJECTIVE
Students will identify their 'Space Bubble' and practice keeping hands and feet to themselves during transitions.
DURATION
20-30 Minutes
(Adjust based on student engagement/stamina)
SETTING
Whole group carpet time or small group social skills session.
🚀 The Hook: The Invisible Bubble
Introduce the concept by blowing real bubbles (if sensory appropriate) or using a hula hoop. Explain that everyone has an invisible space bubble that helps them feel safe and happy. When we stay in our own bubble and don't pop others' bubbles, everyone feels like a "Space Hero."
🛠️ Instructional Steps
1
Model the "Space Check"
Show students how to stretch out their arms and spin slowly. If they touch someone, they are "popping a bubble" and need to move a step back.
2
Social Narrative Practice
Use the "Space Bubble Slides" to read the social story. Pause on each slide to ask: "Is he popping a bubble?" or "Is he being a Space Hero?"
3
"Hands in My Orbit"
Teach the physical cue: Fold hands in lap or tuck them under arms (the "Space Pilot" pose) when waiting or listening.
ASD Considerations & Differentiation
Sensory Needs: Provide a "fidget tool" (weighted lap pad or stress ball) to keep hands occupied in their own space.
Visual Support: Use painters tape on the floor to define "Parking Spots" for each student during carpet time.
Language: Keep instructions literal. Use "One arm's length, please" or "Check your bubble."
Positive Reinforcement: Use "Space Tokens" for students keeping hands to self during transitions.

Facilitation Script & Visual Prompts
What to Say (Scripted Prompts)
"My bubble is my safe spot. Your bubble is your safe spot. When I touch you, I pop your bubble. Let's keep our bubbles big and round!"
"I see [Student Name] has their hands in their orbit. That is being a great Space Hero!"
"Oops! We are too close. Let's do a Space Check. Arms out... spin... good job finding your spot."
Common Misconceptions
• "He's being mean": Reframe as "He is still learning his bubble boundaries."
• Total Avoidance: Personal space isn't about isolation. Teach "Safe Touches" (high-fives) with permission.
