Description
This activity is full of social problem solving scenarios task cards to help students work on their social emotional learning and self advocacy skills by recognising the point of views and intentions of their peers in situations where their peers may be acting with cruel or hidden intentions.
Unfortunately, poor theory of mind and a general trusting nature of many of our students means that they are susceptible to being taken advantage of by their peers for either selfish purposes or with cruel intentions.
This task card activity will work through a range of questions for common social scenarios based on real life examples, where the students will be prompted to apply the following skills to better understand (and respond) to the situation:
- Theory of mind
- Interpreting perspectives / identifying different points of view
- Evaluating intentions
- Predicting consequences
- Responding assertively
Using these cards, I hope that your students will get plenty of SEL practice where you can foster some very important interpersonal development.
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 therapy tool bag! Very low prep (print and go, or even just read from your laptop/tablet!).
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
- PDF files of 42x task cards
- Coloured AND black and white version
WHO ARE THESE FOR?
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 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.
