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.

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.
