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

Social cues, conveyed through body language and facial expressions, are constant in students’ lives, regardless of whether they’re directly interacting with others. Those with social skills challenges often struggle to interpret these cues, including facial expressions, gestures, and overall body language. Misinterpreting social cues can lead to misunderstandings and difficulties in navigating social interactions. Developing the ability to recognize and interpret these cues effectively can boost students’ confidence, enhance their understanding of their environment, enable them to respond appropriately to various situations, navigate uncomfortable encounters, and crucially, prevent potential conflicts.

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

This resource features 25 practical picture worksheets designed to help students practice interpreting social cues, such as body language, and responding appropriately. By engaging with these worksheets, students can enhance their ability to infer people’s feelings and situations, enabling them to determine the most suitable responses.

▶️ 25 Picture Worksheets (Same Pictures in the Task Cards)

✅ This resource includes 25 Social Cues Worksheets, available in both printable and digital formats, featuring lines and questions for students to record their responses. Each worksheet contains three questions to prompt student engagement.

★ What do you notice about this person’s (or people’s) body language?

★ What do his/her/their cues tell you about his/her/their situation or what he/she/they may be feeling or thinking?

★ What would be an appropriate thing to do or say to someone in this situation?

✅ Answer Keys | Suggested Responses are provided! These resources will assist you in leading discussions with your students effectively.

✅ These worksheets feature the same images as the Task Cards. They offer students a valuable chance to showcase their ability to interpret social cues, make inferences about people’s emotions, thoughts, and circumstances, and provide appropriate responses.

▶️ 25 Picture TASK CARDS

✅ These Task Cards feature images illustrating a range of body languages. They can be incorporated into broader lessons, utilized in guided small group sessions, integrated into whole-class discussions, employed for partner discussions prior to sharing with the larger group or class, or even used one-on-one with a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent/guardian! These Task Cards showcase the same images found in the Social Cues Worksheets.

✅ You can print the Task Cards out on gloss paper or regular paper and laminate. You may also organize them in a binder ring

Task Cards offer the following uses, including:

★ Writing Response: Students analyze a picture to interpret the person’s body language, discerning their feelings, thoughts, and circumstances. Questions like “Which social cues do you identify?” “What do these cues suggest?” “What is the most appropriate way to respond?” encourage deeper analysis. Students can exchange papers with a partner, who then evaluates and offers alternative responses.

★ Discussion: Students engage in group or whole-class discussions using the Task Cards. They identify social cues, interpret their meanings, infer about the person or situation, and discuss appropriate responses.

▶️ POWERPOINT (25 SLIDES – EDITABLE!)

✅ Included in this resource is a 25-slide editable PowerPoint. Each slide features the same images found in the worksheets and task cards. You have the flexibility to rearrange or adjust the size of the pictures as needed, and you can also incorporate text. This PowerPoint serves as a valuable tool for structuring your lesson, aiding in picture analysis, and facilitating discussions.
