Social Situation Shorts: 5 Key Social Thinking Vocabulary Concepts in Action
Social Thinking Online Video for Students
Social Situation Shorts is a new digital teaching tool to engage elementary students (5-9+ years) in exploring five key Social Thinking
Vocabulary concepts. Play, pause, discuss, and reflect on the Social Thinking Vocabulary concepts of Thoughts and Feelings, The Group
Plan, Thinking with Your Eyes, Body in the Group, and Smart Guess through the child-friendly videos and companion thinksheets.
Your students or clients will get to be social observers in a variety of situations they may encounter beyond the screen, like classrooms,
playgrounds, home, and in the community. In each short, viewers are introduced to a concept, then journey into different social
scenarios to see that concept in action. Each short has built-in moments to pause the action and discuss or explore the concept. Visual
supports (e.g., thought bubbles and emojis) appear throughout the scenarios to make abstract ideas more concrete. Meet Science Guy
Brad, a fun-loving social scientist, who appears in some of the shorts to give informative, engaging, and sometimes wacky tutorials.
Thinksheets for each of the five shorts are included to extend the learning of each video into other modalities (writing, drawing, observ-
ing, discussing, etc.). There are two types of thinksheets for a total of 10 downloadable visual templates. The first is a single page think-
sheet designed for younger students who need more support thinking to understand the concept. The second thinksheet is for older
students or when teaching more in depth about the concepts introduced in the shorts. Both types of thinksheets provide a template for
mini lessons and discussions—helping your students reflect, relate, and connect the concepts to their own experiences.
