Understanding Personal Space Concepts

Guide your pupils through this creative and engaging activity, designed to enhance their understanding of personal space and boundaries, using this comprehensive printable flipbook.

The flipbook covers a range of important concepts including:

• The idea of a personal space bubble and its significance.
• The importance of setting and respecting boundaries.
• Practical ways to practice maintaining boundaries.
• Self-evaluation: Am I invading someone else’s space?
• Understanding what constitutes healthy boundaries.
• Identifying and appreciating the role of community helpers in maintaining personal space.

This interactive, visual, and tactile learning method is particularly effective for teaching younger pupils the concepts of personal space and boundaries. To reinforce the lessons from this resource, we recommend also using our visually appealing Personal Space Posters. These posters serve as a constant reminder of the lessons learned from the flipbook.
