Description
Help students understand when to report a problem and how to make helpful choices with these tattling vs. telling activities. Sorting cards, discussion examples, writing pages, and an officer poster give students opportunities to practice recognizing the difference.
Use the activities to explain that telling a trusted adult is important when someone is hurt, unsafe, or needs help. Discuss everyday classroom situations together so students can think about the purpose of reporting a problem.
What’s included:
- Tattling and telling examples for classroom discussion
- Sentence cards for a whole-group sorting activity
- A cut-and-glue sorting page
- Writing activities about being helpful
- An updated officer reference poster
Introduce the lesson by discussing examples, then invite students to sort the sentence cards onto a classroom chart. Follow up with the independent sorting and writing pages to revisit what they learned.
Display the officer poster as a reminder during classroom meetings and behavior lessons. Encourage students to seek adult help whenever they feel unsafe or are unsure how to handle a situation.
