Teens today face an array of challenges. In their day-to-day life they have to navigate difficult and sometimes complex interactions with others. Our students are learning how to make constructive decisions about important and impactful life events. It is possible that our students may be dealing with demanding situations at home, school, and their neighborhoods. Perhaps they are facing new problems with friends. They may be finding their growing responsibilities overwhelming. In some cases, our middle and high school students may feel alone in making decisions that will influence the rest of their lives.

As teachers, we have a unique opportunity to present our students with relatable hypothetical scenarios that may feel very real and relevant to them. These Scenario Task Cards allow educators to suggest possible situations that may occur in their lives. Importantly, this resource also makes space for students to empathize with people that may be experiencing something different to them. By having mature discussions around key social and emotional topics, we open communication and build connections as a school community. We want our students to feel supported in a classroom where they belong. This resource can help you to build this sense of community while allowing for challenging topics to be discussed.

Discussing these scenarios and using them to brainstorm effective ways to navigate conflicts and other difficult situations can help your students make wise, responsible decisions when and if they are later confronted with similar situations.

How/When To Use the Scenario Task Cards

★ Role-Playing: The scenarios provide students with opportunities to discuss, understand, and role play the variety of effective ways they can resolve conflicts, set and communicate boundaries, practice saying NO, have difficult conversations, and navigate peer pressure. You can also have each pair read their scenario and then role-play the scenario in front of the class, trying to find a positive resolution to the situation. Students can brainstorm many ways to resolve conflicts. Each pair also watches another pair's role-play as commenters: they have the power to freeze the action of the role-play and make comments and suggestions to the role-players to guide them towards a positive resolution. You can use the Task Cards with no questions to generate your OWN questions and activities!

★ Play Writing Exercise: Students can work in groups to create skits or scenes then perform the skits for the class.

★ Discussion: Students can discuss the Scenario Task Cards in groups or whole class.
