Distance Detective

In this worksheet, students read everyday scenarios and determine whether the appropriate distance should be Close, Medium, or Far. The activity teaches students to adjust their physical proximity based on the situation and their relationship with the other person. They consider contexts like meeting a teacher, talking to a friend, ordering food, or greeting a pet. By identifying the right distance, students improve their understanding of personal space expectations and respectful social behavior. The task supports practical decision-making and strengthens awareness of boundaries.
