Superflex Social Thinking:

“So you guys spent some time learning about Superflex and the Unthinkables over the
last two days. Today we are going to watch some videos and look at different situations
where the unthinkables may take over someone’s brain.”

Here is the first video:

Rock Brain- Will not negotiate with others and is stuck in his own poor decisions/choices.
● In this video we will see three people playing a game together. All three of them want to
be the same person in the game, let’s watch to see how they solve the problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIGbBob1GgY​ Stop at 2 Minutes

● How did the man in the video first react when they were assigning jobs of the game?
○ Flexible/inflexible?
● Why do you think that?
● How did he change his response to become more flexible?
● What did the two girls do when the man said he only wanted to be the cashier?
 ○ Did they get mad at him? Did they fight with him or be mean to him?

Brain Eater- Will distract others and keep them off task.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy-CBs0XNlM&list=PLBnOGS38AagWcjw5TEmLjMdmGoO2
NY99C​ (2 minute video) Pause at 53 seconds

Doug the dog was in the middle of the conversation and he just stopped and yelled Squirrel, is
that very on task of Doug to do?
What unthinkable do you think takes minds and attention of others away and distracts them? Do
you remember Brain Eater? He purposely tries to distract people around him so they don’t stay
focused!
How many of you sometimes get distracted by others or other things throughout your day?
Yeah-- I do too, a lot! We have to try really really hard to use superflex so we can stay on task.
What are some ways we can use to beat brain eater throughout our day?
● Ignore the distractions around us.
● Remind ourselves how important our education is and how important it is that we do our
best learning and keep ourselves from being distracted.

Un-Wonderer- Someone who stops another person from being excited about what they are
learning/doing. They typically aren’t good listeners to their friends. Prevents that person from
showing interest in others or may want to do based on their interests.
One Sided Sid- This character get the person to talk only about his interests even if their friend
is talking about something they are interested in. He only talks about his own interests, thoughts
and feelings with others.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaB0fYrFBRI&list=PLCDeZJeakKFRdelFWv6b607LCYKMB
uso7​ (1 minute video)
● What did these two people do?
○ Asked each other a question, then spent the whole time interrupting and talking
about themselves.
○ Didn’t listen to each other.
○ Were all focused on themselves and not the other.
● What are some things that we could focus on after we ask our friends what they were
excited about?
○ Listen to our friends.
○ Ask them more questions to show that you were really listening.
■ ex) if you ask someone how their day was, and they just reply “good” ask
them what made their day so good. It shows that you really care and are
really listening.
Mean Jean- Someone who is mean to others and makes others feel sad about themselves.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csga4tg5Pq0&list=PLLsqQDp4qDkkj3Z0SNuIoIrzaW1FV3Io
E​ (3 Minute Video)

● How would it make you feel if someone talked to you like this?
○ Sad, lonely, mad, hurt, upset…
● How would you react to that person?
○ Ex. walk away, talk back (no good), ignore them…
● “I want to point something out to you guys though… Although,
● Po (The panda) was really sad when he heard Tigress say those words, but one thing
that he did well was not saying anything bad back to her. Sometimes when people say
really hurtful things to us it doesn’t only make us sad, but we get mad and are mean
back.
○ It’s important to learn to control our actions towards others so we can keep
problems small, and not let them get any larger than they already are.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vHBlVfzXaU&list=PL4NWWUSfnOhRA5k051Qv62fhu088k-
Mcm​ (2 minute video) → I really like this video, I might include it at the end of the morning
meeting social group to remind them of social skills needed to participate in groups.

This last video just shows some unexpected behaviors and how the kids think we should act
differently next time. Just a reminder of some social norms and how we shouldn’t act and what
we should do instead.

I really want you guys to pay close attention to this next video because it is a really important
skill to have inside of school and outside of school. Let’s watch.

Space Invader- Space invader likes to get too close to others. He gets in their “bubble” and
sometimes it gives them red thoughts.
https://slp.everydayspeech.com/#/video/keeping-personal-space​ (about 2 minutes)
● How did the kid react when his friend got too close?
○ Did he ask him to move over?
○ Was he rude to him?
○ Did he just ignore the issue and continue the conversation?
● What did the kid who got too close do next time around?
○ He moved further away.
● If someone gets too close to you, what are some strategies that you can use to have
them move away?
 ○ How can we be more aware of our friends space?
■ Ask before you hug
■ Ask to sit next to them
■ Just ask them in general before getting close to them at all.

https://slp.everydayspeech.com/#/video/sharing​ (this video is on sharing with others) 2:40

● Sometimes the right things seem like they are hard to do, but when we see how happy it
makes others we feel much better about ourselves!

❖ Social Group Time

➢ Reset Dojo Points
■ Reason- It’s not fair that William came in and had to start at zero. It’s time
to reset the points.
➢ We will continue to work towards the 3000 point goal.
■ Right now the class has a total of 2497 points.
■ We have 503 points until 3000. So when the new class total is 503- then
we will have our whole class reward.
➢ Explain that we will set individual Dojo Goals
■ Reasonable goal for the week 16-40 points
● If you set it for 16 points a week, that means you earn 4 points per
day. If you think you can earn more than that a day, then set a
higher goal.
➢ Show them individual current points
■ Explain why we are setting individual goals.
● To see how successful we are being during social group time.
■ Explain the form to the students and how it will work.
● At the end of each week, we will have individual conferences to
see if you met your individual goal. If you meet your goal, then you
will get a reward on Friday, if you don’t then we will talk about how
to get your to meet your goal.
■ Today we are going to set goals but we won’t start until next week.

 ❖ Superflex Curriculum
➢ “Today we are officially starting the Superflex Training Academy:
■ Givet the students “flexible brain” and capes.
■ Make capes and copies of the brain
➢ Bring back the Superflex takes on Rock Brain book
■ “I know that we have already read this book, but I want to go back to it for
the time being. I want you guys to think about what social town was
before the Unthinkables started taking over.”
■ What is expected- what are some hidden rules.
■ Flexible thinking- why this is important when you are around others.
● How does flexible thinking show that you are thinking about
others?
■ How was Aiden’s mom feeling when he would have rock brain thinking?
When he was being superflexible?
■ How was the neighbor’s mom feeling when her son refused to do his
homework?
■ Encourage discussion of what unthinkables they notice in themselves and
others.
