Conversation Hearts Cover

Happy February, Everyone! If you’re looking for a cute Valentine’s Day activity for your kids with social or pragmatic language difficulties, hop on over to my TpT store and pick this one up (it is free, after all!)

It contains 32 different cards (with decorative card backs) that have a conversation starter. Then, it’s up to your kids to figure out what would come next in an appropriate situation. The cards can be laminated and written on with dry erase marker, or you could play a game and make it a contest to see who can get the most correct.

I came across this today and got SO EXCITED! I’ve always strayed away from making lots of social skills games because of the whole board issue…now I won’t have to! Printable boards, are you serious!?

Well, this website has all kinds of good ones: Candyland, Monopoly, Chess, Checkers, and several others. I guess I don’t have an excuses anymore!

Fun Freebie :: Social Skills Cards: Feelings Pack

Feelings Cover

Many social skills curricula take basic social skills and break them into small steps for students to learn individually. Unfortunately, many of those are quite expensive and if your school is anything like mine, administrators aren’t flooding your offices with money to spend. So, I made my own! This pack is available for free on TeacherspayTeachers and contains skill cards for 5 crucial empathy and emotional regulation skills (30 cards in all with decorative card backs):

1. Expressing Your Feelings
2. Dealing with Stress
3. Dealing with Anger
4. Identifying Others’ Feelings
5. Responding to Others’ Negative Feelings

Each skill is broken down into the mental and physical skills needed to carry out the task successfully, so that they can be taught individually. Cards include visuals for students that cannot read. I use these cards with almost all my social skills groups, but I’ve noticed they work especially well for students with Autism!

If you’re interested, I also have 5 other packs available as well, so check out my store and save yourself tons of plan time!
