For Social Skills this week, we targeted the skill of “Inquiring about others’ preferences” and made purple waffles together.

This could look like…

• Asking a friend what game they want to play.
• Asking which snack someone would like.
• Asking what color or crayon a friend wants to use.
• Asking what music a friend wants to listen to.
• Asking which seat someone wants to sit in.
• Asking which toy a friend would like first.
• Asking which movie or show someone wants to watch.
• Asking how a friend likes to be greeted (high-five, wave, fist bump).
• Asking what kind of activity (inside or outside) a friend would prefer.
• Asking what type of role (leader, helper, player) a friend wants in a game.
