Everyday Speech is proud to announce the launch of an all-new skill on the platform: Relationships for Middle and High Schoolers. This new skill features brand new units, including Getting Ready to Date, Dating, and Ending a Relationship. Each unit features age-appropriate videos, activities, and games for learners who have begun to show interest in romantic relationships.
Dating etiquette involves a whole lot of social skills. It can be overwhelming thinking about all the rules, social cues, and nonverbal communication that go into navigating a relationship! Our new dating unit will support you in teaching skills related to communication, self-advocacy, and staying safe in relationships.
Plus, for our younger learners, don’t miss our new Pre-K and K materials on making introductions, using connected comments, staying on topic, lining up, and creating and respecting personal space.
Let us know how your students feel about our new materials by tagging us on Instagram using @everydayspeech.
New Relationship Materials for Middle and High School Students
Breakups can be difficult. In this lesson, learners will be given a variety of tips and steps they can take in order to positively cope after a breakup.
When we’re in a relationship with someone we should continuously be checking in with ourselves. This means asking ourselves, “Is this relationship working for me?”
Students cover four areas of dating in this points-based trivia game: connecting with others, texting, recognizing others’ emotional clues, and predicting the outcome of one’s actions.
Students learn how to connect to other people’s comments to keep a certain conversation topic going. Making connected comments assures the person you are talking to that you are listening and interested in what they are saying.
In this lesson, learners will be taught how to stay on topic. Staying on topic is an important conversational skill to build friendships. It makes conversations fun and engaging.
