Description
Your students will get plenty of flexible thinking practice with this social problem solving activity. This pack involves 42 social scenarios where your student must practice flexible thinking in order determine whether it is a scenario where they must follow the rule, or whether there is an exception.
Many of my students are sticklers for the rules. As important as rules are, this can also backfire and cause issues for them. I'll never forget the heartbreak I felt when I heard that student had a toiling accident in the classroom because they knew they were only allowed to go during lunch and recess.
Whilst yes, rules are there to be followed, most of us are able to use our logical thinking to determine when to follow these important rules, and when there may be an exception. These task cards will allow your students to practice and apply this important skill and awareness to various common scenarios.
A quick and easy "go to" for your therapy tool bag! Very low prep (print and go, or even just read from your laptop/tablet!).
They can be used as open discussion prompts (my personal fave), writing prompts or simple and quick drill work.

WHO CAN USE THEM?
Regular education teachers, special education teachers, 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 TO 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.
