Speech Bubbles

I Statements #1

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is designed to help individuals express their feelings constructively during conflicts without placing blame on the other person. It introduces the concept of “I Statements,” a communication tool that enables open dialogue by focusing on the speaker’s feelings rather than accusing the other party. Users are prompted to describe a personal conflict situation and then practice formulating “I Statements” by completing the speech bubble template provided. This exercise aims to encourage self-awareness and responsibility in communication during disagreements.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students how to communicate effectively and respectfully when addressing conflicts. It guides them in expressing their own emotions and needs without making the other person feel defensive or at fault. By using “I Statements,” students learn to take ownership of their feelings and articulate their needs clearly. The ultimate goal is to foster healthier communication that can lead to mutual understanding and resolution of conflicts.
