What’s Nickel up to now?<br />

Focus on the social skills involved <strong>with</strong> being the target of teasing, teasing others, <strong>and</strong> witnessing teasing.<br />

Students interact <strong>with</strong> an animated story <strong>and</strong> respond to a variety of social dilemmas. The student’s choices<br />

determine the outcome of each page. The program responds <strong>with</strong> detailed feedback based on each student’s<br />

decisions. As the stories unfold, the program tracks responses <strong>and</strong> stores the data for later review. Fun<br />

characters <strong>and</strong> surprising animations keep children clicking for more!<br />

Teasing is a confusing <strong>and</strong> commonly expressed problem for school age children. In Nickel Takes on Teasing: A<br />

Clickable Social Skill Story, students help Nickel <strong>and</strong> her friends decide what to do in a variety of tense social<br />

situations. Each story page models a different kind of teasing. Then the student selects how the character should<br />

react from a number of responses (2-4 choices). Each response takes the page in a new direction demonstrating<br />

both positive <strong>and</strong> negative outcomes.<br />

Your students will take on teasing as they join Nickel Kapinski on her first day of school at Coyote Elementary.<br />

Nickel wants to be sick <strong>and</strong> not have to be the new girl in school. As she goes through the day, she <strong>and</strong> her new<br />

friends must react to being the target of teasing <strong>and</strong> other insulting remarks. What will Nickel <strong>and</strong> her friends do?<br />

How will they react?<br />
