Kids Boundary Cards for Christmas help children ages 6–11 practise personal space, sensory breaks, communication scripts, consent, and self-advocacy.

This ready-to-print Christmas SEL resource includes 36 beautifully illustrated scenario cards featuring realistic situations children may experience during holiday gatherings. Each card provides one short, respectful sentence a child can say, point to, sign, or practise through role-play.

Children will learn how to handle hugs and kisses, personal space, unwanted touch, family photos, food pressure, loud music, flashing lights, strong smells, gift opening, teasing, unexpected plan changes, and asking a trusted adult for help.
