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

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!

Teach your older students to effectively self-advocate in any setting or situation with this Self-Advocacy Life Skills Worksheet Activities and Social Problem Solving Scenarios Lesson.

I am a high school speech language therapist in a special education school. I work with many students who find social emotional learning and executive functioning skills challenging. One way we tackle this is by practicing self-advocacy skills. My goal is to foster independence speaking up and advocating for themselves to get the help they need in all settings.

I wanted a way to help them not only learn to self-advocate, but to do it effectively. Many of my students have learned to express themselves over the years, but are vague in their expression and forget to include enough detail. They haven't quite mastered what to say in different situations to ask for help and inform others exactly what they need. This leaves others confused and the students' needs unmet.

This self-advocacy lesson breaks speaking up into a simple and easy-to-follow self-advocacy formula. Students will quickly learn the 3 steps of the formula and be able to:

- Understand self-advocacy and locate self-advocacy details within various statements and questions.

- Discriminate between self-advocacy statements/questions that are effective
and detailed/specific and those that are too vague and do not tell others what you need and how they can help you.

- Apply this self-advocacy formula to various problem solving scenarios at home, school, work, and in the community. Students will learn to problem solve what to say in various functional situations and settings.

This lesson/activity includes:

- A Color and a B&W version

- Mini-lesson/Self-Advocacy Formula

- Many examples to model effective use of the self-advocacy formula

- Worksheets to understand and recognize effective self-advocacy

- Scenarios to practice using the self-advocacy formula - written tasks and role play scenario cards included

- Self-Advocacy Formula Template

- Printable and has been designed to easily be used digitally on any interactive whiteboard with any digital annotation tool or app.

I am seeing significant improvement in my own students now that they are using this self-advocacy formula. Breaking it down into its parts and then practicing expressing themselves with detail is getting much easier for them! I hope it does the same for your students!

Thank you for your interest! Enjoy!

How do you play?

* Choose one of the 5 senses to focus on for each round and use the corresponding board and picture cards. Picture cards should be cut out and placed in a basket or some kind of container. Students will then choose two picture cards from the container (without peaking!) and place them on the designated boxes on the board to generate the If You Could Only Choose One question.

* Cards can be returned to the container when finished to allow for additional question combinations.

What does each product come with?

* Fun engaging questions that everyone can relate to! All five senses are covered in each product (see, smell, hear, taste, touch). Each of the five senses comes with a designated board and picture cards. There is also a blank board and blank cards if you'd like to create/write your own.

* Each board comes with a sentence starter to assist students in sentence building / sentence expansion. There is also room to generate your own sentence from scratch on each board.

* In addition to sentence writing space on each of the five senses boards, if you have students at different writing levels, the product also comes with 3 different levels of writing prompts, plus a blank template for independent writing.

Perspective taking requires a person to think ahead and beyond their own desires and viewpoints to gain a deeper understanding of others, the world around them, and their impact on people.

* I use this Perspective Taking & Empathy resource DAILY with my high school students. It has led to a different more empathetic way of thinking for them. It is incredibly rewarding to watch my students learn to self-monitor and grow into mature, kind, patient, and understanding young adults right before my eyes. I hope you have the same success with your students!

Self-Advocacy Skills + Life Skills Problem Solving Scenarios for Older Students - students will learn the necessary foundational skills of speaking up and become confident and effective self-advocates in any setting with any communication partner.

I work on improving self-advocacy skills daily with my high school students. My goal is to improve their executive functioning skills to foster independence problem solving and advocating for themselves to get the help they need.

I wanted a way to help them not only learn to self-advocate in life, but to speak up effectively . This Self-Advocacy Holidays & Seasons resource will help your students effectively and respectfully navigate sensitive situations using self-advocacy and problem solving skills with those closest them during seasonal and holiday activities and events.

Many of my students have learned to express themselves over the years, but are vague in their expression and forget to include enough detail. They haven't quite mastered what to say in different situations to ask for help and inform others exactly what they need. This leaves others confused and the students' needs unmet.

This Self-Advocacy Formula + Template breaks speaking up into 3 simple and easy-to-follow steps. Students will learn to self-advocate in any problem solving situation with any communication partner with confidence.

I am seeing significant improvement in my own students now that they are using this self-advocacy formula. Breaking it down into its parts and then practicing expressing themselves with detail is getting much easier for them and giving them more confidence to self-advocate in any situation they are faced with. I hope it does the same for your students!

Thank you for your interest! Enjoy!

• speech language therapy group activity
• mixed group activity

• 5 senses activity

This spring social skills group game is versatile and fun for everyone involved! The questions are based on a topic everyone of every skill level can relate to - the 5 senses! Your students will love talking about their favorite spring things! Students will answer opinion questions about their favorite sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and textures related to the spring season!

This SEL activity was designed to get your students talking and increase student engagement. Each question is a SURPRISE and the variety of questions is endless!

I am able to adapt this conversation starters SEL game to target a variety of goals based on my students' different speech and language goals. I have used it to target:

- Conversation Skills

- Inferencing & Perspective Taking - students can guess which choice their classmate will choose based on what they know about them. They can also practice answering why they believe their classmate made a specific choice.

- Choice Making

- Sentence Building/ Sentence Expansion

- Expressing Opinions

- Reasoning

- Conjunctions

- Asking Questions

- Answering Questions

- Agree and Disagree Respectfully

- Articulation - this mixed group game naturally elicits multiple trials with the following sounds/words/phrases (If you could only choose one, I would choose, because, see, smell, hear, listen, taste, feel, touch, etc.).

- Vocabulary / Concepts related to spring or the five senses

How do you play?

* Choose one of the 5 senses to focus on for each round and use the corresponding board and picture cards. Picture cards should be cut out and placed in a basket or some kind of container. Students will then choose two picture cards from the container (without peaking!) and place them on the designated boxes on the board to generate the If You Could Only Choose One question.

* Cards can be returned to the container when finished to allow for additional question combinations.

What does each product come with?

* Fun engaging questions that everyone can relate to! All five senses are covered in each product (see, smell, hear, taste, touch). Each of the five senses comes with a designated board and 12 picture cards. There is also a blank board and blank cards if you'd like to create/write your own.

* Each board comes with a sentence starter to assist students in sentence building / sentence expansion. There is also room to generate your own sentence from scratch on each board.

* In addition to sentence writing space on each of the five senses boards, if you have students at different writing levels, the product also comes with 3 different levels of writing prompts, plus a blank template for independent writing.
