Personal SpaceThe Final Frontier

NEXT

Hi Joe Hi Jim

NEXT

How are you?Fine, I guess.

NEXT

What do you mean?

Jim, why are you standing

so close to me?

NEXT

Well, when two people are

having a conversation,

it’s polite to give them

some personal space.

What is personal space?

NEXT

So, is this too close?

Yeah. Try taking one step

backwards.

How about here?

NEXT

It’s the area around a person that no other person should go into

unless given permission.

Awesome! But, Joe, how will I know if I am in someone’s personal

space?

That’s about right.

NEXT

Like a giant soap bubble? Don’t

those pop?

Think of personal space as a giant bubble that surrounds your entire body, but no one can

see it.

NEXT

The clear one he rolls around the

house in?

Not, like a soap bubble. Okay, picture your hamster’s rolly-

ball.

NEXT

I think I’m starting to understand.

Yes, imagine if YOU were inside a ball just like that, only no one could see it. That invisible ball gives you personal space that other people

can’t enter.

NEXT

That’s what friends are for

Jim!I really

appreciate you telling me the

truth Joe.

NEXT

If you are ever unsure if you are in someone’s personal space, just take one step

backwards.

I think I can remember to

do that!

Okay! But I get to go first.

Now, let’s go play Mine

Craft!

THE END.
