Space Bubble Story Booklet My Personal Space Bubble
A Social Story for Space Commanders

Everyone Has a Bubble
Every person has an invisible "space bubble" around them. This bubble helps us feel safe and comfortable. When I am close to my friends, I need to make sure I am not popping their bubble!
Keeping My Hands to Myself
I keep my hands, feet, and body to myself. This shows my friends that I respect them. If I want to touch something a friend is holding, or if I want to give a high-five, I must ask first .
Asking Before Touching
Before I touch a friend's arm or their toy, I can use my words. I can say:
"Can I see that?"
"May I have a high-five?"
"Can I sit next to you?"
The Stop Signal
Sometimes, a friend might say "Stop!" or "Please move back." This is a signal that I am too close. When I hear a stop signal, I listen right away. I take one big step back to give them space.
I am a Space Commander!
I respect bubbles.
I ask first.
I listen to 'Stop'.
Friends feel safe.
Draw yourself being a Space Commander!

Staying Safe and In Bounds

My Safe Zone
At recess, the playground is divided into "zones." These are the safe places where I am allowed to play. Staying in my zone keeps me safe because the teachers can always see me and help me.
Looking for Clues
I am a Zone Scout! I use my eyes to find the boundaries. I look for the fence , the painted lines on the blacktop, or the orange cones . These clues tell me where the safe zone ends.
Asking the Guide
Sometimes, I might be having so much fun that I forget where the zone is. If I am not sure if a spot is safe, I stop and ask a teacher . I can say, "Is this part of our zone?" or "Can I play by that tree?"
Staying with the Group
Being a good Zone Scout means staying where my friends and teachers are. When I stay in bounds, everyone is happy and playtime stays fun for everyone!
I am a Zone Scout!
I look for fences and lines.

Heart Speaker Story Booklet The Power of a Heart Speaker
Using Kind Words to Make Others Smile
Name: __________________________
Date: ___________________________
Words Have Power
Every time I speak, I have a choice. I can use my words to build people up or tear them down. A Heart Speaker uses kind words to make the classroom a happy place for everyone.
Think Before I Speak
Before I say something, I can ask myself: Is it true? Is it helpful? Is it kind? If it’s not kind, I keep it as an "inside thought." Inside thoughts stay in my head so I don't hurt someone's feelings.
Using 'I Feel' Statements
When I am upset, I don't use mean words. Instead, I use an "I Feel" statement . It sounds like this:
"I feel ___________ when you ___________ because ___________. Can you please ___________?"
Giving Compliments
A Heart Speaker looks for good things in others. I can give a compliment by saying something nice about a friend's hard work, their kindness, or their smile. Compliments are like gifts for the heart!
I am a Heart Speaker!
I use kind words.
I think first.
I use 'I Feel' words.
I share compliments.
Write a kind word for a friend!
