*******************************

Most students have cell phones and regularly communicate with family, friends, and classmates through text messaging. Nearly all students are familiar with this form of communication. Why not teach and practice social skills in a way that resonates with their interests? By using text messaging, students can recognize what effective social skills look and sound like—and what they don’t! These activities will engage students in a fun and relatable way, and no student will be able to resist participating!

This resource includes 10 text message conversations, each offered in three variations to support differentiation, for a total of 30 worksheets. Additionally, the zip file contains a BONUS text messaging resource, featuring one text message conversation in multiple variations, along with an Answer Key.

Text Message Conversation Variation Worksheet Details:

1. Worksheet #1: Contains two questions that are suitable for lower-level students. (These questions ask students to determine if the person has good social skills and support their answer with evidence. The second question asks students to think about how they would respond if they were in the same situation or similar to that.)

2. Worksheet #2: Contains two questions that are suitable for higher-level students. These types of questions are more inference-based and challenge students to think critically about the situation and individuals.

3. **Worksheet #3: **A plain worksheet that only includes the text message conversation (in which you can generate your OWN question). This worksheet contains a box in which students can write the question you generate / or copy a question from the board.

☆☆☆ There are a total of 10 Text Message Conversations in THREE variations.

*******************************

Below are some sample questions (included in the worksheets) for Lower-level students (to help you decide if this resource is suitable for your students):

• Does Jen have good social skills? Explain your answer and support it with evidence.
• How would you have responded to your friend in this situation if you felt a little jealous?

For the SAME text message conversation, some sample questions (included in the worksheets) for Higher-level students include:

• Analyze this text conversation. Why do you think Jen decided to apologize to Cara for being hurtful? Explain your answer and support it with evidence.
• How do you think Jen should have handled her emotions the moment she felt jealous (instead of being hurtful)?

*******************************

This resource is incredibly effective for struggling readers and writers, particularly those with short attention spans or difficulty maintaining focus during longer texts.

The text message conversations are age-appropriate, highly relevant, familiar, and fun! Students will easily connect with the characters involved in these exchanges. It will be fascinating to observe what students infer from these conversations and how they might respond in similar situations. To extend the activity, consider having students read the texts aloud so they can "hear" examples of strong social skills and recognize what poor communication sounds like.

These Social Skills Text Message Conversation Worksheets can be used in a variety of settings, including as part of a larger lesson, during a mini lesson, or as guided practice. They are also ideal for independent work, pair or group activities, small group discussions, and even for homework or additional practice!

This activity can ultimately improve confidence, communication, and assertiveness skills.

• Writing Response: Students can be given a scenario to read and then write their responses. You can ask questions like: How would you respond in this situation?

In this generation, teens have developed their own language based on what is happening in teen culture. Slang words are unconsciously used in our everyday language by students in all grades, and even by teachers, and will continue to evolve faster than we know! – Word!

Many people identify slang as being “street.” In that case, students can be “street” and STILL HAVE SOCIAL SKILLS!

This resource is centered around 28 HIGHLY RELEVANT social skills scenarios using SLANG WORDS**. (That's right! It's time to get down with your kids! They will think you are the BOMB.COM!)** Students are asked to read scenarios (in their own created "slang" language) and think about how they can respectfully handle certain situations.

*************************************************************************************************************

The scenarios feature 7 different topics, FOUR scenarios for each of the following topics:

• Dealing with HATERS
• Dealing with BULLIES
• Dealing with LIARS
• Dealing with SNITCHES
• Dealing with BACKSTABBERS
• Dealing with PARTNERS
• Dealing with NEGATIVE PEOPLE

*************************************************************************************************************

The scenarios encourage students to think about and practice how to:

• navigate difficult situations and challenges with peers and close friends
• have difficult conversations with the very people they spend a great deal of time with
• build confidence in managing their anger and emotions
• handle challenging situations with a sense of maturity
• improve social skills and behavior
• brainstorm coping skills
• evaluate best solutions in different situations

This resource features (and is centered around) 28 REAL-LIFE, student-inspired, social skills scenarios/situations that teens and young adults experience daily in school and out of school. Students read the scenarios and write, discuss, or create role-plays/skits on how to maturely handle difficult situations despite feelings of anger, jealousy, betrayal, etc.

*************************************************************************************************************

How/When To Use the Scenario Task Cards

• Role-Playing: Students can collaborate in pairs or groups to act out a variety of scenarios and demonstrate appropriate responses. Role-playing activities can also be used to show how skills are used improperly and then asking the 'audience' to help reenact properly. This activity can ultimately improve confidence, communication, and assertiveness skills.
• Icebreaker: This can be a great way to start a meeting, training session, or team-building activity. It’s also a great way to get students to get to know each other and buy into the purpose of an upcoming activity or lesson.
• Play Writing Exercise: Students can work in groups to create skits or scenes then perform the skit for the class.
• Writing Response: Students can be given a scenario to read and then write their responses. Students can switch papers with a partner who then reads their responses and determines whether they agree/disagree with their responses/approaches to these real-life scenarios.
• Discussion: Students can discuss the Scenario Task Cards in groups or whole class. They can discuss things like “What would you do?”, "How can your respectfully handle this situation," “Why would you do that?”, and “What are some other options you could consider?”

Social Skills Text Messages | Text Messaging | Communication Skills Activities

About This Resource

★ Social Skills Text Messages

★ Features 20 Text Messaging Worksheets in 2 Variations

★ Print and Digital (PDF and Google Slides)

★ Suitable for Upper Elementary, Middle, and High School

★ Sample Responses included

★ Social Emotional Learning

This resource includes:

☆ 20 Text Message Worksheets (with Background Information)

☆ 20 Text Message Worksheets (without Background Information)

☆ Sample Responses

☆ Google Slide Link

Teens today are constantly connected through their cell phones, with texting being one of the primary ways they communicate. While texting makes it easy to stay in touch, it also comes with challenges, as tone and intent can often be misunderstood without face-to-face interaction. Developing strong social skills for texting is essential to ensure that messages are clear, respectful, and considerate of others' feelings. By practicing thoughtful communication, teens can navigate social situations more effectively and avoid unnecessary conflicts or misunderstandings.

This resource features 20 different text conversations designed to help students develop their communication and social skills. Each conversation comes in two versions:

★ Without background information for students ready to respond on their own.

★ With background information included at the bottom of the worksheet to provide additional context and support for thoughtful responses.

The background information is great for students who need extra help understanding the situation and encourages them to respond while considering others' feelings and social dynamics. This format makes it easy to differentiate and meet students' individual needs.

Sample responses are included to support teachers in guiding discussions and providing examples for students.

This worksheet is perfect for practicing empathy, improving social skills, and learning how to handle everyday interactions with care and thoughtfulness.
