Tattling vs Reporting | Tattle or Tell | Activities for Elementary School

Description

It is vital that we teach our young elementary-aged students the difference between tattling vs reporting. Once students learn the difference, classroom interruptions are minimized, the important information is reported, and students understand how to recognize information that is important to tell adults.

During this game, students learn the difference between tattling and telling/reporting in an interactive and fun way. In the end, students will be able to recognize when they are tattling and when they are reporting important information that an adult needs to know.

Included in this Download:

• Three Explanation Pages
• Teacher Game boards (3 designs)
• Monster Game boards (3 designs)
• 81 Tattle or Tell Situation Cards

Print and laminate the three explanation pages, teacher and monster game board, and all 81 situation cards. Cut the situation cards apart and place them upside down in a pile. One at a time, students pick and read a card out loud. They then can use the three explanation posters to decide if this situation is a tattle or tell. Students will love playing this game and learning the difference between tattling and reporting.

Students will be challenged to ask themselves:

• Is this my business?
• Is someone in danger or hurting?
• Was something done on purpose to harm me?
• Is this something I cannot handle on my own?
• Is this important information that an adult has to know?

In the end, students will have a clear understanding of what information the teacher needs to know! Empower your students to learn the difference between tattling vs reporting with this printable resource!
