Publisher's Description of Training Aliens Text Level 1
Training Aliens teaches K-8th graders social and emotional skills in a fun, confidence-building way. NASA has asked Space Camp attendees to teach visiting aliens about making friends, managing emotions, and participating in groups as part of a test program. When the aliens have difficulty with a skill, campers are given two common options to manage the behavior. Using a you-choose format, campers learn that both options are ineffective with humorous consequences.
After reading the story in the Training Aliens text, teachers lead campers through the related mission in the Training Manual. Each mission includes three steps which may be taught on three separate days or combined to teach on one day. Curriculum includes free access to a supplementary video course.
Training Aliens, Level 1, is not an independent curriculum. It is best suited for younger students and families, co-ops, and classes learning foundational skills together. Students grow in confidence as they learn skills they need to train aliens about: meeting new people, managing frustration, joining a group, sibling rivalry, apologies, and more.
Training Aliens does not use worksheets to teach students who may already be challenged by them. Instead, activities used to teach 16 lessons include: discussion, video lessons, challenges, dramatization, fables (secular)/Bible stories (faith-based); quotes (secular)/Scriptures (faith-based); picture books of your choice; games, space camp activities and snack ideas.

Category Description for Training Aliens
Teaching social skills has become a priority in recent years. With Training Aliens author Dr. Melanie Wilson, it can be fun and interactive to teach too! These courses are best used with a group of children but can be adapted to use with one child. Now with 3 levels, each course has 4 units covered in 16 weeks:
- Friendship & Communication
- Emotion Management
- Group Membership
- Problem Solving
Course components include:
- Training Manual & Teacher’s Guide is for the Parent/Teacher (available in either a secular or faith-based version)
- Adventures in Social & Emotional Skills is the Text, which is a book of stories and scenarios you read aloud to the group
- Each unit includes 4 missions with 1 free video per unit (optional, on publisher’s website).
After the story, students choose from 2 options for dealing
with the challenge. They speculate on what could happen! Students are also
assigned tasks to complete such as saying hello to 5 new people. There is no
student workbook; rather, you can print free PDFs when necessary for each
student from the publisher’s website.
If you are using the faith-based Teacher’s Guide, you will read from your own Bible or a combination of your Bible and the text. For Level 1, required resources include a picture book of your choice and colored pencils. Additional household items are used in Level 2. Level 3 requires colored pencils, a fable, and a picture book. It is best to complete the levels in sequence as the beginning topics are foundational. ~Sara
