Blurting Bandit

This worksheet helps students distinguish between expected classroom speaking behavior and impulsive blurting. Through short “scene investigations,” learners determine whether each example shows appropriate communication or interruptive speech. They then analyze student thoughts to decide when it’s best to “Blurt Alert” or “Speak Smart.” This activity builds self-control, listening, and social awareness by teaching students how timing and tone affect conversation flow and respect in group settings.
