Tattling vs. Reporting: Social Skills Lesson Plan, Game, & Telling Sort

Ready to tackle that oh-so-tricky topic of tattling versus telling? Dive into these fun lesson plans using Don't Squeal Unless It's a Big Deal. I've mixed reading with real-life social skills, so your kiddos can distinguish between another tattle and truly important stuff. Enjoy interactive reading sessions, hands-on activities, and a super cool game that drives the message home. More than just reading, it's about helping our young ones understand and navigate the playground politics with confidence and kindness. So, let's make learning about tattling a big deal—in a good way!

Students complete a sequencing activity to retell the story after reading Don't Squeal Unless It's a Big Deal. From there, you can transition into a small group (or whole group) social skills activity where students evaluate scenarios to determine if they should report.

Designed to be used as a whole-class game or in small groups, the "Squeal or No Squeal" cards are always a favorite and have been updated to include 8 new scenarios that focus on digital citizenship. Your students will be begging to play this fun game!

This simple and easy-to-use lesson plan will help improve your classroom and reduce tattling, perfect for the beginning of the school year or as a mid-year review.
