Responsibility Social Skills Scenarios | SEL Lessons & Worksheets for Kids

Help Teach your students the value of responsibility and accountability with these engaging Social Skills Scenarios! This pack helps kids understand what responsibility looks like at school, at home, and in the community, while also building social-emotional learning (SEL) skills like decision-making, problem-solving, and empathy.

With two differentiated levels (Level 1 and Level 2), you can meet the needs of a wide range of learners — from early elementary to SPED and ESL students.

✨ What’s Included:

• 10 Level 1 Scenarios with longer passages and comprehension questions for higher-level readers.
• 10 Level 2 Scenarios with simplified text and visuals for emerging readers.
• Good choice vs. poor choice comparisons that reinforce responsible behavior.
• Printable for whole-class, small groups, counseling, or SEL centers.
• Illustrated scenarios to support comprehension and keep students engaged.

Differentiation
