An investigation was undertaken with a view to assess the social skill development of preschoolers. A total of 50 children in the age group of 3–5 years were selected from rural areas of district Hisar. These children were subjected to age appropriate Vinland Behaviour Scale for assessment of their skills. Comparison of mean of boys to that of girls over the different age groups of 4–5 years. The boys were better in social skills than the girls which may be due to comparatively better interactions of parents or care givers towards boys. The overall mean values of social skills for boys were significantly higher than the mean of girls in the age group of 3–5 years.
