Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Phone Skills - Alone and Okay lesson plan also includes:
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

What do you do when you are alone and the phone rings? How do you handle an emergency situation? Learners discuss and practice how to use the phone when they are home alone. They use clear communication, look up phone numbers, and talk about how they know whether or not they are in need of emergency assistance. This would be a great resource for a teacher, a parent, or an afterschool program.
