Telling Tales: Social Story

A simple, child-friendly social story to help children understand the difference between telling to help and telling on others.

Using clear language and real playground examples, this story gently introduces five key questions children can use to guide their choices:
Is it an emergency?
Is it true?
Is it helpful?
Is it kind?
Do I need to tell?

Designed for early years settings, this resource supports children to pause, think and make positive decisions about when to seek adult help and when to solve small problems independently.

Perfect for:
• Reducing “telling tales” and minor reporting
• Supporting emotional regulation and independence
• Building early reasoning and communication skills
• Strengthening PSED and oracy development

Ideal for whole class teaching, small group work, or as a consistent behaviour support tool across your setting.
