Communication - assertive, aggressive, passive - Elsa Support

Communication – assertive, aggressive, passive

I made this game a while back and find it so useful for teaching children about the different styles of communication. This pack is more than just a game but has lots of activities too. I hope to show you how versatile this pack is.

You can play the game. Each child has a bingo board and a counter. Print  out the board on A3 or do as I have done and print the PDF in two parts to stick together. Each child in turn throws the die and moves that number of places. If they land on a ‘Problem’ they must pick a problem card and suggest how to answer it in an assertive way. If correct they get a monster token.  If they land on a ‘Assertive, aggressive or passive’ square then they must pick a ‘style card’. Which style is it? If correct they get a monster token for their bingo board. The first person to fill their bingo board is the winner. You can find the game here  Communication styles
