Tell students they will practice accepting ‘no’ for an answer. They will workwith a partner and partner A will ask partner B for something or forpermission. Partner B will say ‘no’ and partner A will demonstrate the skill ofaccepting ‘no’ for an answer. Students can choose their own scenario to askfor or you can give them a scenario. For example, for the first practice, youcan instruct partner A to ask the “teacher” if they can go to the library andthe “teacher” says ‘no’. For the second practice, partner B asks their“parent” if they can go to a friend’s house and the “parent” says ‘no’. Usinghome and school examples may help children generalize the skill. Students will also practice accepting ‘no’ for an answer by playing the game“Mother, May I? or Father, May I?” You need an open space. The teacherwill be the “mother” or “father” and will stand on one end, alone. Thechildren line up, shoulder-to-shoulder, on the other end, about 10 or 20 feetaway. Teach the children some of the various steps of the game: i.e. babysteps, scissor steps, giant steps, jumping-jack steps, karate steps, or jumpsteps. Tell the children they will ask you, “Mother, may I take (a certainnumber of a particular type of) steps?” Prepare them that you might say‘yes’ and you might say, ‘no’ and they need to follow the skill steps of howto accept ‘no’ for an answer so that the game will be fun for all. Ask thestudents to remind you of the steps of how to accept ‘no’ for an answer.During the game, take turns asking each child to ask for permission untilsomeone reaches the teacher. (Optional) If you have read, I Just Don’t Like the Sound of No! by Julia Cook,ask the students to remind you of what RJ got to put up on the bulletinboard when he said ‘yes’ to ‘no’. (A say ‘yes’ to ‘no’ star.) Tell the studentsthat you will be ‘catching them being good’ and when you see them saying‘yes’ to ‘no’, they will earn a star, get to write their name on it, and decorateit as they desire. You will place it on the “Say ‘yes’ to ‘no’” bulletin board.PracticeAssessmentAssess and reward students with positive consequences or a say ‘yes’ to ‘no’ star.Use specific praise with students when issuing the consequence to ensure theyunderstand they have earned the positive consequence for accepting ‘no’ for ananswer.For more activities and printables get I Just Don’t Like the Sound of No!
