Going to a Holiday Party

This social story helps learners know what to expect at a holiday party, including friends, family, music, games, snacks, and gift-giving. It teaches social skills like saying “Thank you” and “You’re welcome” and offers strategies for staying calm if the party is too loud. Holiday parties are a fun way to celebrate with others!

Going to a Holiday Party I’m going to a holiday party! At a holiday party, we can see friends and family gathered to celebrate the holiday together.
Holiday parties are not always on the day of the actual holiday. Sometimes they can be before or after.
At the party, they may have:
People dressing in holiday attire
Fun snacks to eat
Games to play
Holiday music playing
If the party is too loud, I can wear my headphones or take a break in another room.
Depending on the holiday, we might also exchange gifts.
If I receive a gift, I can say or sign “Thank you!”
If I give a gift and someone says, “Thank you!” I can say or sign “You’re welcome!”
There might also be a big dinner that we eat at the holiday party. When we sit at the table to eat, I will have calm voice and calm body, so we can all enjoy our meal.
Holiday parties are a fun way to celebrate the holiday with friends and family!
