Description
This is an activity of 40 cards providing 'real life' pictures to help students practice making social inferences about the thoughts and feelings of others using clues that they see.
Our students must learn to make social inferences by looking for signs and clues to help them better understand the point of view and feelings of those around them. These task cards will help your students practice this very skill!
Each card prompts the student with 4x questions to work through the concept of making social inferences:
- Pretend you are this person - what are you thinking?
- What are the clues that tell you what they are thinking?
- How might they be feeling?
- When have you felt this way?
*These task cards can be used for an individual, a small group or a class*!
SAVE TIME SESSION PLANNING!
These task cards will help to take therapy session planning and brainstorming OUT of your hands and should last you several therapy sessions. When mixed with other task card decks or therapy activities, this deck alone should last months for a weekly student!!
A QUICK AND EASY "GO TO" FOR YOUR TOOL BAG!
Very low prep (just print and go, or even quicker - just read from your laptop/tablet!).
SKILLS TARGETED ON EACH TASK CARD:
- Making social inferences about points of view
- Giving rationales for their answers
- Making inferences from pictures about emotions
- Reflecting on own experiences
WHO CAN USE THEM?
Education teachers, special education teachers, homeschooling parents, SLPs, OTs and other support professionals could all benefit from using these task cards with their students. These cards are specifically designed for middle and high school aged students.
HOW DO I USE THEM?
*These task cards can be used for an individual, a small group or a class*
Individual ideas:
o Side activity during a board game or other therapy activity!
o A “break” between therapy activities if the other activities are worksheet-heavy or targeting another skill!
o Use these cards as a therapy activity itself (I do!)
o “Warm up cards” for the start of each session.
o Quick assessment of skills.
o Homework.
o Use them as conversation prompts/starters.
You can even use them to simultaneously target additional skills like expressive language, speech, reading comprehension/decoding.
Small group and/or classroom ideas:
o Put the task cards up in different parts of the room (or outside!) and have students walk around with the room with their answer sheets and clip boards.
o Have students get into pairs and talk about their answers and thoughts together.
o Use a card or two each morning as part of a guided class discussion.
o Use the cards as a guide for an open ended quiz. Use the flashcards to ask the class the questions, and get the students to write their answers on a sheet to hand up.
