Roscoe the Bossy Rooster – Guided Questions & Activities
Encouraging Kindness, Friendship & Emotional Growth
This guided 12 page activity pack is designed to go hand-in-hand with the story Roscoe the Bossy Rooster, helping children in PreK–3rd grade grow their social-emotional learning (SEL) in a fun, hands-on way. Rooted in five core SEL principles—self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making—these activities invite kids to reflect on Roscoe’s journey from bossy to kind-hearted leader.
Inside you’ll find:
• Let’s Talk Together
Guided conversation questions to help children think about Roscoe’s feelings, actions, and choices—and relate them to their own experiences.
• Let’s Color and Reflect
A drawing and coloring activity where kids can show what kindness looks like and complete a sentence: “I am kind like Roscoe when I…”
• Let’s Act It Out
A playful and engaging game to practice telling the difference between kind and bossy behavior through real-life examples.
• Let’s Express Feelings
Prompts and expression-building tools to help children name their feelings and consider how their actions affect others.
• Friendship Challenge
A weekly kindness tracker to encourage positive behavior at home or in class—celebrating small, meaningful moments of helping, sharing, and forgiving.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this resource supports children in learning how to be kind friends, manage their emotions, and build stronger relationships—just like Roscoe does on the farm!
