Winning and Losing (Destroyer of Fun)

Winning and Losing Social Story

I like to play games and win. All kids like to win!

When I win I can say things like, “Good game,” “That was fun,” “I
had fun playing with you,” or “Want to play again?”

Sometimes I lose. This makes me feel mad. I don’t like losing.

Sometimes when I lose I yell and get mad at the winner or say
mean things.

When I get mad and yell, this makes the winner sad. Kids will
think that I am a poor sport and mean.

Kids will not want to play games with me. This will make me sad
because I like to play games.

When I lose, I need to stop, take a deep breath and remember to
think, “Its OK, maybe I will win next time.”

I can then say, “Good game,” “That was Fun,” “I had fun playing
with you,” or “Want to play again?”

Kids will be happy and want to play games with me if I remember
to not get mad.

I am happy when kids want to play games with me. It will make
my parents and teachers happy too!
