Conversation Skills Phone Text Messages | Starters, Turn Taking | Speech Therapy

Your students will beg you to work on conversational skills with these super motivating cell phone theme cards! You’ll get 95 text message conversation cards targeting conversational turn taking, topic maintenance, making comments, asking questions, safety, and initiation. Perfect for your social skills groups!

We all know our students love their phones (or their parents’ phones!). Play into their interests for an engaging and motivating session.

You can print and laminate for a lifelong tool ready whenever you want to work on social skills and conversation with your kids! No time to print? Just pull them up on your screen and don’t worry about printing.

Here’s what’s inside:

• 95 text message cards
• 1 sorting visual
• 8 blank cell phone cards
• 8 screen shatter foil cards
• 1 card deck cover

Each comment or question looks like it is a text message from a specific person (mom, dad, friend, classmate, etc.). The sorting visual challenges your students to identify why their response was appropriate.

Great for social skill or pragmatics goals! These cards open up great discussion about appropriate texting and how our responses might change based on context. You can even use these as conversation starters with your fluency, articulation carryover, and grammar students as well!

Here's some reasons why other SLPs have loved these conversation skill phones:

♥ ”This resource is such a cute way to target conversation skills in a way that the kids enjoy. They find it fun to pretend they are sending texts back and forth which keeps the practice interesting. It's always tricky to practice conversation skills without same age peers, so this is definitely an option for building the skill before moving to real time interactions.” - Alysha C.

♥ ”Wow!!! What a great and fun activity!! Kiddos love 'texting' replies to the sender. I have printed on card stock and they'll hold as if it's a cellphone and pretend to text back. The scenarios are fun and appropriate for therapy. I'm able to use this for reading as an activity to target articulation sounds as well and inferencing goals.” - Ashley V.

♥ ”This is a great resource for late elementary students. I have one student in particular that really enjoys this activity. Even after a year, he still asks to use this material during our speech sessions. I appreciate that this resource includes different target individuals (e.g., student, friend, parent, teacher) as this influences appropriate pragmatic responses. Also, I have used the "What Should I Say Next" visual many times for other pragmatic therapy. What a great resource!” - Eilish S.
