Using Self-Monitoring to teach
Game Playing Social Skills
Description: There are two schools of thought concerning children lacking social skills. This intervention attempts to use self-monitoring and group-monitoring to teach students the process of learning and using social skills. The authors hypothesized that focusing the social skills training paradigm from one based on skill deficits to one based on performance deficits, an increase in socially skilled behaviors would be evident. Common board games are used as tools to initiate interactions.
Materials:
• 3 posters
o Today’s Rules
o Today’s Jobs
o Today’s Behaviors
• Badge for each role (Chair, Observer, 1st Recorder, 2nd Recorder, Substitute)
• Paper, pencils, markers
• Prizes
• Tape Recorder or Egg Timer
Preparation:
• Assign Roles
• Make posters
• Make badges
• Create “Positive Interaction Behavior Sheet” for each student
Steps in Implementation:
Pre-Game/Setup:

2. Chair reviews roles and passes out badges
3. Chair review rules for game and answer questions
Game begins:
4. Pass out “Positive Interaction Behavior Sheet” to each student
5. Begin playing the game; begin tape/egg timer
6. Every 3 minutes record PI behaviors
• Am I following Rules? Am I taking turns? Am I using my inside voice? Am I using mature language? Am I keeping my hands to myself?
7. Observer writes short narrative of game
End of game:
8. Observer provides behavioral feedback to group members
9. Points are tallied and recorded on “Today’s Behaviors”. (Teacher can do this or students)
Tips:
