50+ Effective Social Skills Activities For Teens And Kids

Good social skills will always come in handy. No matter what field of work a child chooses for themselves, their social skills will help them move forward in life.

Social Skills Activities For Teens

Teenage is a sensitive time as teenagers experience considerable physical and mental changes that contribute to shaping their personalities. Here are a few social activities that can help develop their social skills and make them feel more comfortable in their own skin.

1. Theater

Theatre is a great activity for teenagers to meet new people and expand their horizons. Visit the local theater groups in your town/city and see if they have open spots for kids. Theater may help your shy kid to open up and help your social kid to thrive in a creative environment. Kids who don’t like the limelight can also consider working in the costume or production department of theater companies. You should also encourage your teen to take part in school plays.

2. Activity Camps

Summer camps offer lots of fun activities for teens and kids. Find a camp that is appropriate for your teenager. Camps are great places to make new friends, interact with strangers, and also work alongside them. One-day or weekend camps are especially effective for teens who lack social skills. A day of interaction with new people and partaking in different activities can help even shy kids learn the skills needed for proper social interactions. There are tons of options for camps such as drama, dance, music, sports, science, etc.

Jud Millar, director at Stone Mountain Adventures, writes about his observations about summer camps. He says, ”Sometimes the beauty of camp is that campers are engaged in “free play.” They’re done with a meal and they just start playing… A gaggle of kids and counselors have started an impromptu game of ultimate frisbee on the lawn with spare flip-flops as goalposts. A couple of campers or staff might be casually observing while engaged in a conversation. All of these examples of free play are beneficial because the kids are in charge. They’re navigating social interaction. Whether they’re physically engaged or casually observing, they’re developing independence and self-reliance (i).”

3. Volunteer Work

Volunteering is a great activity for kids of all age groups. Encourage your teen to volunteer at retirement homes, child welfare centers or animal shelters. They can also offer to teach useful skills to smaller kids or read books to them. Help them understand how they can organize volunteer work to help their neighborhood or community. Your teen can improve his social skills while helping others.

Quick fact

A meaningful volunteer job can develop abilities like curiosity, creativity, and empathy in your teen.

4. Sports Participation

There is a reason sports matter so much in life. Beyond entertainment, there is a lot people can learn from sports. Teenagers can learn the value of teamwork, organization, leadership, motivation, fitness and support from playing sports. All these qualities are great for character-building and for improving socialization skills.

5. Art Classes

Help nurture your teen’s artistic talent and get the added benefit of an improvement in social skills through art classes. Not only will your teen interact with instructors and fellow students, he will also get an outlet for creative self-expression. The activity helps shy kids express their views better. Encourage your teens to enroll in any art or craft classes just to test the waters. Painting classes, sketching, fabric art, pottery, sculpting and similar activities help teenagers express themselves to others in a better way.

Point to consider

When students create something of their own, it makes them confident. This self-confidence grows manifold when they witness their progress.

6. Bonfire Night

Organize bonfire nights for your teen. Plan events where you can invite your extended family and get to know each other better or reminisce about the good old times. Encourage your teenagers to throw a different kind of birthday party complete with a bonfire night as the perfect backdrop for fun times with friends.

7. Educational Trips

So your teen loves museums, great! Plan activities where he can better his social skills. Visit different neighboring towns and explore all museums. Help your teens further explore this interest by bookstore visits where they can buy books about history. Find out about expert lectures and seminars on the subject and offer to accompany them to the event or pay for your teen to go with a friend.

Educational trips are not only a great way to help teenagers explore their interests, but they also offer ample opportunities to interact with new people. They increase the cultural competence of your teen and teach them a great deal about diversity and inclusion. Even asking a question during the Q & A session of a lecture may require a great deal of guts from a shy kid. Help them break the ice and converse with the museum tour guide or even interact with a stranger.

Do remember

Even a short educational trip offers three key outcomes for teens – improved teamwork, enhanced relationships, and a community spirit.

8. Game Nights

Game night during a party or family event is a fun way to help your teenagers open up to others. Make such activities more thrilling by asking people to come up with their games on the spot. Select the best ones through votes and have a blast. The bonding will help your teen develop better socialization skills.

9. Live Events

Watching live events together as a family or with friends can be an amazing experience for your teen. Championship games, dance performances, music recitals, quiz shows, competitions, etc., are live events that teenagers can watch in a social setting. They would be amidst a crowd, a majority of those people would be strangers. It will help your teen shed his inhibitions while he cheers for his favorite team. Live events are a great place to learn about networking and public speaking as well.

16. Conversation Cards

Having a one-on-one conversation with a stranger can be unnerving for some teens. Try playing the conversation starter game with your child. On a pack of cards, write different kinds of topics that can be used to start a conversation. Ask your teen to draw any card and make a conversation with you based on that topic. As soon as the topic seems to run its course, ask your child to draw another card and start the next topic to keep the conversation going. This might help them learn to have an engaging and meaningful conversation.

17. The Habit Of Listening

Listening is an important social skill that every teen needs to develop early on. Listening is extremely crucial to have a healthy conversation.

Listening and comprehension tasks can also help improve their skills.

Much is conveyed through body language than through words. And teens need to learn to read between the lines. You may enroll them in a body language class or have them read books on body language. Help them understand how ‘folded arms’ is a defensive stance, while a soft, light punch on the arm is a friendly gesture. You may watch a movie together and ask your teen to observe the character’s body language and try to understand what the character is trying to convey through their body language.
