Situation Based

Worksheet Description

The “Asking Appropriate Questions” worksheet is a social skills exercise that prompts students to think about the kinds of questions that are suitable in various everyday scenarios. The situations range from meeting someone new to more casual encounters, like seeing a neighbor walking their dog. For each scenario, the student must come up with a question that would be considered polite and relevant to that context, training them to tailor their inquiries to different social settings.

This worksheet is intended to teach students about social norms and the importance of context when interacting with others. It helps them understand that different situations call for different types of questions and that being sensitive to the setting is key to polite conversation. The exercise develops the students’ ability to engage with others thoughtfully and demonstrates the value of asking questions that are considerate of others’ boundaries and feelings. Overall, it builds the foundational skills of empathy and respect in communication.
